Could you build this?
Partial The UI and accessibility hotkey listener can be built quickly, but high-speed real-time local transcription and cleanup running natively on Apple Silicon's Neural Engine requires low-level platform integration.
What it would actually take: Requires Swift/Objective-C integrating CoreAudio, macOS Accessibility APIs for system-wide text injection, and Apple Silicon CoreML / whisper.cpp optimized for the Apple Neural Engine. Developers need deep knowledge of macOS security permissions, low-latency audio capture buffers, and on-device ML model execution.
