Could you build this?
Partial Integrating local Whisper models and an overlay UI is straightforward, but capturing system audio, app audio, and mic concurrently on macOS requires low-level CoreAudio virtual audio driver programming.
What it would actually take: The app requires a native Swift/Objective-C macOS application with Audio Server Plug-ins or modern ScreenCaptureKit / CoreAudio hooks to route and tap system audio streams without latency. On top of that, local Whisper inference (via whisper.cpp or CoreML) must be optimized to run concurrently alongside real-time translation models with low latency and low power consumption.
