Could you build this?
Partial While standard transcription wrapping Whisper is easy, isolating and capturing speaker output vs. microphone audio without echo cancellation bleeding on macOS requires CoreAudio/ScreenCaptureKit audio driver knowledge.
What it would actually take: Requires a macOS native app (Swift/C) tapping into macOS 13+ ScreenCaptureKit or virtual CoreAudio HAL drivers (like BlackHole) to capture system speaker audio as a discrete stream alongside AVAudioEngine for microphone input. The streams must be timestamp-synced and routed in parallel through local whisper.cpp or an API without cross-talk.
