Could you build this?

Partial The floating overlay and summaries are manageable, but capturing low-level desktop audio across arbitrary applications without bot integration, then streaming it through low-latency real-time STT and translation pipelines, is technically demanding.

What it would actually take: Requires a native Windows app (C#/WPF, C++, or Rust with Tauri) using Windows WASAPI (audio loopback capture) to intercept system-wide speaker audio. The stream must be chunked and piped over WebSockets to an ultra-low-latency real-time speech-to-text engine (e.g., Whisper streaming / Deepgram) and instant machine translation pipeline while managing local transparent floating windows (DirectX/Win32 layered windows).
