Partial The UI and push-to-talk workflow are buildable, and on-device speech models already exist, but a polished macOS system-wide dictation tool needs native Accessibility and audio work and tuned low-latency transcription.
What it would actually take: It would be a native Swift macOS app that captures global hotkeys and microphone audio, runs an on-device speech model such as a Whisper or Parakeet variant via Core ML or MLX, and inserts text using Accessibility APIs or simulated keystrokes. The hard parts are latency, accuracy, and reliable text insertion across many apps, plus the cleanup and punctuation layer. This needs macOS and ML inference engineering experience, not just prompting.
