25.3 deepspeech demo

The demonstration highlights the capabilities of the DeepSpeech pre-built speech-to-text model. Example audio files are transcribed, to demonstrate the accuracy obtainable by the model (on the carefully chosen audio) and that further training is required for other audio in general.

Welcome to a demo of Mozilla's DeepSpeech pre-built model for speech
to text. This model is trained using machine learning techniques based
on Baidu's Deep Speech research paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/1412.5567), 
and implemented by Mozilla. In this demo the audio will be played and
then transcribed to text.
