Partial The tap-to-talk UI is simple, but real-time speech recognition, translation, and playback across 19 languages with low latency requires a multi-model pipeline and moderation for live audio.
What it would actually take: The app would chain streaming speech-to-text, machine translation, and subtitle generation through existing APIs, with a backend for audio relay and storage. The hard parts are end-to-end latency, translation quality across 19 language pairs, and real-time moderation for an 18+ voice product. Those need speech and infrastructure engineering beyond vibe coding alone.
