Could you build this?

Partial Creating an iOS AVPlayer wrapper is easy, but on-device multilingual speech-to-text, diarization (speaker recognition), and real-time synchronization on iOS requires CoreML model optimization (Whisper CoreML / Apple Speech) and heavy audio pipeline tuning.

What it would actually take: Requires native Swift/SwiftUI development integrating whisper.cpp or CoreML-optimized Whisper models alongside Apple's SoundAnalysis framework or PyAnnote-adapted CoreML models for speaker diarization. Key challenges include managing peak memory usage (RAM limits on iOS), thermal throttling during long video processing, and hardware-accelerated video/subtitle rendering.
