> It seems like you're using WaveNet to do speech-to-text
I'm proposing reducing a vocal performance into the corresponding WaveNet input. At no point in that process is the actual "text" recovered, and doing so would defeat the whole purpose, since I don't care about the text, I care about the performance of speaking the text (whatever it was).
In your example, I can't force Trump to say something in particular. But I can force myself, so I could record myself saying something I wanted Clinton to say [Step 3] (and in a particular way, too!), and if I had a trained WaveNet for myself and Clinton, I could make it seem like Clinton actually said it.
I see. I still think it's easier to apply deepmind's feature transform on text rather than to try to invert a neural network. Armed with a network trained on Trump, deepmind's feature transform from text->network inputs, you should be able to make him say whatever you want, right?
Text -> features -> TrumpWaveNet -> Trump saying your text

Yes, that should work, and by tweaking the WaveNet input appropriately, you could also get him to say it in a particular way.
