Could you build this?
Partial Running local real-time speech recognition and grammar correction on a Mac without cloud connectivity requires bundling and optimizing local on-device ML models (Whisper.cpp/CoreML).
What it would actually take: Requires native Swift/macOS development packaging quantized local inference engines (such as Whisper.cpp or CoreML-optimized Whisper) alongside a local small language model or specialized grammar engine (e.g., LanguageTool or local quantized LLM via llama.cpp). Low-latency audio capture and local resource optimization require expertise in native macOS audio buffers and CoreML deployment.
