Could you build this?
Partial Writing a desktop UI is accessible, but building offline real-time speech-to-text with OS-level virtual keyboard keystroke injection requires native systems integration.
What it would actually take: The app needs to run a quantized local STT model like Whisper (via whisper.cpp) on local CPU/GPU (Metal/DirectML) with streaming VAD (Voice Activity Detection). It also requires native platform accessibility APIs (macOS CGEvent/Windows SendInput) to inject synthesized keystrokes directly into active application windows. This requires low-level C++/Rust or Electron/Tauri native node addons with native OS permission management.
