Could you build this?

Partial The UI and LLM-based text cleanup are easy to wrap, but a usable Japanese voice-input app also needs reliable local speech recognition tuned for Japanese and deep Windows text-input (IME) integration.

What it would actually take: Build a Windows desktop app (C#/WinUI or Tauri) that runs a local Japanese ASR model such as a quantized Whisper variant via ONNX or whisper.cpp, then sends transcripts to a chosen LLM API for formatting. The hard parts are accuracy and latency of the local Japanese model and making text injection work reliably across apps through TSF/IME hooks, which needs Windows input-method expertise and real-world testing.
