Could you build this?
Partial The UI and dictionary matching can be vibe-coded, but integrating directly into macOS's finicky InputMethodKit while providing real-time fuzzy phonetic error correction is notoriously difficult.
What it would actually take: The stack relies on Swift or Objective-C interfacing with Apple's InputMethodKit framework paired with a low-latency C++ or Rust phonetic dictionary engine. The primary difficulties are handling undocumented InputMethodKit edge cases (text replacement ranges, app sandbox restrictions, process deadlocks) and designing an efficient Zhuyin n-gram model for typo correction that runs under strict millisecond latency limits. It requires specialized knowledge of macOS input architecture and Chinese computational phonetics.
