Partial The UI and text injection are vibe-codeable and the ASR model already exists. Running Parakeet with low latency on the Apple Neural Engine via Core ML needs specialized on-device ML and macOS system knowledge.
What it would actually take: Build a macOS app with a global push-to-talk hotkey, audio capture, and text insertion via the Accessibility APIs or simulated keystrokes. The hard part is converting the speech model to Core ML and running it on the Neural Engine with sub-second latency, which needs ML-engineering and Apple-platform performance expertise.
