Could you build this?
Partial The UI wrapper is simple, but compiling and optimizing NVIDIA Parakeet STT to run 113x faster locally on CPU requires specialized ML inference runtimes like ONNX/C++ bindings.
What it would actually take: The system packages an ONNX Runtime or TensorRT/ggml-style optimized C++ inference engine wrapping NVIDIA's Parakeet acoustic model, exposed to a lightweight desktop frontend via Tauri or Electron. The hard part is quantizing and optimizing the conformer/transducer model architecture for AVX/NEON CPU SIMD instruction sets to achieve extreme real-time speeds with low latency. Specialized machine learning engineering and native systems programming are required to reproduce these speedups.
