Could you build this?
Partial Requires system-wide macOS accessibility integration, low-latency screen capture/OCR, and global context injection across any desktop app.
What it would actually take: Built with Swift on macOS using Accessibility APIs to detect active cursor positions, select text, and inject modified text across arbitrary desktop apps. Screen Assist requires background ScreenCaptureKit integration, local OCR/vision processing, and streaming audio capture for realtime dictation, requiring native macOS systems programming expertise.
