Could you build this?
Partial A basic Android PDF viewer with Android TTS is easy, but bundling reliable on-device OCR and offline translation models for Indic languages (Hindi, Urdu) while maintaining performance on legacy Android 6+ devices is challenging.
What it would actually take: Requires an Android application (Kotlin/C++) with embedded PDF rendering (Pdfium), on-device OCR (Tesseract or ML Kit embedded), and lightweight offline machine translation models (quantized ONNX models like MarianMT or small NLLB). The hard part is optimizing on-device inference memory and execution footprint to run smoothly across low-end Android 6.0+ devices without cloud connectivity.
