Could you build this?
Partial The basic app overlay and API integrations are standard, but capturing system audio across other apps without root on Android while running optimized on-device low-latency ASR requires specialized Android OS audio routing.
What it would actually take: Requires native Android development using AudioPlaybackCapture API (restricted to media projection permissions) or Accessibility services, coupled with an optimized C++/JNI runtime for on-device ASR models (e.g., Whisper.cpp or ONNX Runtime). Handling real-time streaming chunking, multi-lingual voice activity detection, and floating overlay window managers without crashing or stuttering requires deep platform-level Android expertise.
