Could you build this?
Partial The LLM prompt orchestration is straightforward, but reading unselectable text across any app requires low-level OS accessibility APIs or fast local screen capture OCR with global keyboard hooks.
What it would actually take: A native desktop app (Rust with Tauri/Wry or Swift/C#) is needed to monitor global system hotkeys, capture screen regions around the cursor or active window, run local OCR (e.g. Apple Vision framework, Windows OCR, or Tesseract), send extracted text to an LLM API, and synthesize keystrokes/clipboard events to paste the result back. The hard part is cross-platform OS-level permissions, robust screen OCR targeting the exact focused element, and reliable simulated typing/pasting across sandboxed applications.
