Could you build this?
Partial Although sending audio to a transcription API is simple, on-device video rendering, precise word-level subtitle alignment, font rendering, and performant hardware-accelerated video export on mobile require specialized media engineering.
What it would actually take: The app needs a pipeline leveraging AVFoundation (iOS) or Android MediaCodec alongside an STT service (e.g., Whisper API returning word timestamps). The hard engineering piece is building a performant client-side video composition engine (Metal/OpenGL/AVVideoComposition) that dynamically animates 52 typography styles synchronized accurately with audio and exports high-definition video without crashing device memory limits.
