Could you build this?
Partial Running local on-device transcription, translation, and video processing on macOS requires native CoreML/Metal optimization for models like Whisper and local LLMs alongside FFmpeg integration.
What it would actually take: Requires a native macOS app (Swift/SwiftUI) bundled with an optimized local inference engine (such as `whisper.cpp` running on Metal/Apple Neural Engine) and local machine translation models. Developers must handle complex native media pipelines with FFmpeg or AVFoundation for video enhancement, compression, and sub-millisecond subtitle timing alignment.
