Could you build this?

Partial The Korean composition engine is well-defined and the UI is simple, but a Windows IME must be built on the Text Services Framework through COM. Japanese kana/kanji conversion also needs dictionaries and conversion logic that vibe coding does not supply.

What it would actually take: The stack is C++ or C# with the Windows TSF COM interfaces, plus a Hangul composition state machine and a romaji-to-kana mapping. The hard parts are reliable TSF integration across apps and handling Japanese kanji conversion with a dictionary and ranking model. This requires Windows internals experience and IME-specific testing.
