*DeepSpeech on PaddlePaddle* is an open-source implementation of end-to-end Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) engine, with [PaddlePaddle](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle) platform. Our vision is to empower both industrial application and academic research on speech recognition, via an easy-to-use, efficient and scalable implementation, including training, inference & testing module, and demo deployment.
