Could you build this?
Partial A basic desktop dictation wrapper around Whisper and an LLM is straightforward, but low-latency global OS keystroke injection, screen capture context, and sub-second real-time streaming audio pipeline across Mac and Windows require native desktop systems engineering.
What it would actually take: A production app requires an Electron, Tauri, or Swift/C# wrapper communicating with native OS accessibility APIs to capture active screen context and inject text seamlessly into other applications. The audio pipeline needs local low-latency streaming STT (e.g., Whisper.cpp or an optimized WebSocket speech-to-text service) chained to an LLM for formatting and filler-word removal with near-instant round-trip latency. Expertise in cross-platform desktop internals, accessibility permissions, and low-latency audio stream processing is required.
