Could you build this?

No Building an OS-level input method editor (IME) on macOS requires native InputMethodKit integration and specialized Chinese NLP language modeling for homophone disambiguation.

What it would actually take: Developing an IME requires Swift/Objective-C integration with Apple's InputMethodKit, low-level event tapping, and an embedded statistical language model or HMM/n-gram/transformer tuned for Traditional Chinese Zhuyin-to-character conversion with sub-millisecond latency constraints and sandboxed memory limits.
