Could you build this?
Partial While the UI and text cleanup heuristics are straightforward to vibe-code, building a responsive macOS dictation app with low-latency local MLX model execution and system-wide keystroke simulation is tricky native systems engineering.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires a native Swift macOS menu bar app interfacing with Apple MLX bindings (MLX Swift/C++) to run quantized ASR weights on the Neural Engine/GPU. The difficult technical challenges involve low-latency audio capture pipelines, unified memory management under load, and managing macOS Accessibility APIs for reliable cross-application text injection.
