Could you build this?

Partial While the UI and translation API integration are straightforward, global OS-level event listening and context extraction across macOS, Windows, and Linux require native system hook development and OS permission handling.

What it would actually take: A cross-platform app using Electron, Tauri, or native code (C++/Swift) leveraging OS accessibility APIs (like macOS AXUIElement or Windows UI Automation) to hook global keyboard and mouse events and extract highlighted text across disparate applications. The system needs reliable cross-platform native bindings and handling of OS-level permission prompts (Accessibility and Input Monitoring).
