Could you build this?
Partial The UI and settings are simple, but a reliable system-wide dictation tool needs native macOS integration (global hotkeys, text insertion into any app, permissions) and fast on-device speech models that vibe coding alone won't get right.
What it would actually take: A real version is a native Swift/SwiftUI macOS app that uses Accessibility and CGEvent APIs for global hotkeys and text insertion, with a local speech model (e.g., a Whisper variant via Core ML or whisper.cpp) for offline transcription. The hard parts are latency and accuracy tuning on Apple silicon, reliable insertion across apps with different input behaviors, and code-signing, notarization, and permission handling. This takes a developer comfortable with macOS internals and on-device ML, not just prompting an assistant.
