Could you build this?

Partial A solo builder can wire up cloud speech-to-text, translation, and an LLM for Q&A, plus a Windows click-through overlay. Low-latency system-audio capture across platforms and reliable real-time captioning are harder to get right.

What it would actually take: Build an Electron or native Windows app that captures system loopback audio and streams it to a low-latency streaming ASR API (such as Deepgram or Whisper streaming), then translates the partial transcripts and renders them in a transparent always-on-top window. Android needs a separate audio capture path with different permission constraints. The hard parts are latency tuning, audio capture reliability across apps, and the UX of an overlay that stays out of the way.
