Could you build this?
Partial While the UI and general app shell are manageable, system-wide macOS accessibility hooks, audio stream capture, and running efficient on-device Whisper inference in Swift require native systems programming.
What it would actually take: Built with Swift/SwiftUI using Apple's Accessibility APIs (AXUIElement) to simulate keystrokes into any active app, combined with CoreAudio for low-latency mic capture. The core speech engine requires integrating whisper.cpp or CoreML-optimized models on Apple Silicon Neural Engine, requiring native macOS systems programming expertise.
