Could you build this?
Partial A web GIF picker is easy, but an overlay 'bar in any app' with dynamic timed captions and motion tracking requires OS-level accessibility/overlay hooks and computer vision video processing.
What it would actually take: Requires developing platform-native background overlay apps (using accessibility APIs or floating system overlays on Android/macOS/Windows) to operate globally over any text input field. The core captioning engine requires animated GIF/WebP frame extraction, ffmpeg/canvas-based frame-by-frame text rendering, and optical flow/OpenCV tracking algorithms for caption motion tracking. System-level integration and performant real-time frame manipulation require seasoned native systems and CV developers.
