Partial The UI and hotkey workflow are easy to build, but reliable Hinglish dictation that flags uncertain words needs a speech model tuned for code-mixed speech and calibrated confidence scoring, which vibe coding alone won't supply.
What it would actually take: The stack would be a hotkey-driven macOS app wrapping an on-device Whisper-family model via Core ML or MLX. The hard part is accuracy on Hinglish, which means fine-tuning or curating code-mixed training data and building per-word confidence thresholds. That requires ASR/ML expertise and a labelled Hinglish evaluation set.
