Could you build this?
Partial While the web UI and video preview are simple to build, running client-side speech-to-text with word-level timestamps and rendering animated canvas overlays at high performance requires nontrivial client-side ML and media processing.
What it would actually take: Needs Whisper running locally via WebAssembly/WebGPU (e.g., Transformers.js or whisper.cpp Wasm) to perform on-device speech recognition without server uploads. Rendering animated captions smoothly requires HTML5 Canvas or WebGL compositing with WebCodecs and FFmpeg.wasm for exporting. Requires expertise in browser audio/video pipelines and WebAssembly performance optimization.
