Could you build this?
No Silent visual speech recognition (lip reading) running locally on a Mac requires specialized computer vision research, novel deep learning models, and complex CoreML optimization.
What it would actually take: The application requires an efficient video capture pipeline that tracks facial landmarks and extracts lip ROIs at high frame rates, fed into a visual speech recognition (VSR) model (such as a 3D-CNN/Conformer architecture like Auto-AVSR). Running this in real-time on Apple Silicon requires quantizing and compiling the model via Core ML to run on the Neural Engine/GPU with minimal latency. High-accuracy lip-reading remains an open research problem with massive datasets required for generalizable zero-acoustic speech prediction.
