Could you build this?
Partial While wrapping local Whisper models is accessible, creating a low-latency, cross-platform OS background service that manages system-wide audio hooks, global hotkeys, accessibility APIs, and synthetic keystroke injection across macOS and Windows requires native systems programming.
What it would actually take: A real build requires low-level systems programming in Rust, C++, or Swift/Objective-C/C# using OS-level accessibility and input APIs (CoreGraphics/AXUIElement on macOS, Win32 SendInput/UI Automation on Windows). It must bundle an optimized local speech-to-text inference engine (whisper.cpp or ONNX Runtime) with strict memory/CPU caps and sub-second latency.
