Could you build this?

Partial Basic screen capture and OCR wrappers are easy, but building a 274KB zero-dependency native Windows executable with scrolling capture requires low-level Win32 and GDI/DirectX development.

What it would actually take: Achieving a zero-dependency 274KB binary requires raw C/C++ or Rust using native Win32/DirectX APIs instead of heavy frameworks. Scrolling capture needs precise pixel-matching/stitching algorithms and window message hooking. Engineers need native Windows desktop system programming expertise and lightweight embedded OCR integration.
