Could you build this?
Partial Capturing speaker-attributed audio directly from browser tabs (Google Meet, Zoom web) without a bot requires specialized WebRTC/audio tap extensions and real-time audio diarization streaming.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires a Chrome/Firefox extension leveraging chrome.tabCapture or WebRTC media stream taps combined with local speaker separation/diarization or streaming chunked audio over WebSockets to speech-to-text models (e.g., Deepgram or Whisper). The hard part is synchronizing multi-channel tab audio with DOM-level participant speaking indicators across various meeting platforms without relying on an external bot. It requires deep expertise in browser extension audio APIs, real-time media handling, and speaker diarization pipelines.
