Could you build this?

Partial Aggregating public radio streams via directory APIs is straightforward, but maintaining low-latency, real-time multilingual speech-to-text and live translation across tens of thousands of simultaneous streams requires non-trivial infrastructure.

What it would actually take: The app needs an audio streaming pipeline (AVFoundation on iOS) connected to an audio processing backend that segments live audio buffers and runs them through streaming STT (e.g., Whisper streaming or Deepgram) followed by real-time neural machine translation. At scale, handling connection drops, variable bitrates, audio transcoding, and managing streaming API costs for continuous 24/7 radio streams is the primary infrastructure and operational challenge.
