AudioScript turns whatever is playing on your computer — podcasts, videos, meetings — into live bilingual subtitles: source text plus translation, in a floating overlay. Everything runs locally, offline. Chinese and English are built in, with 29+ languages available via optional downloads (LMT-60, NLLB-200, macOS system translation) and ASR (Nemotron, Qwen3). • System audio, mic, or both • Always-on-top overlay, adjustable size, opacity, lines • Free, MIT, macOS / Windows / Linux

Could you build this?

Partial The UI is simple, and open-source local speech recognition and translation models (Whisper-style ASR, NLLB/LMT-type translation) can be wrapped by a vibe-coded app. Capturing system audio reliably on each OS and keeping real-time latency low is harder.

What it would actually take: Build a desktop app (Electron/Tauri or native) that captures system audio via platform loopback APIs, streams chunks into a quantized local ASR model, then runs a local MT model for the translation line and renders a transparent always-on-top overlay. The hard parts are per-OS audio capture, model optimization for real-time CPU/GPU performance, and segmenting speech for stable subtitles. This needs audio/ML engineering experience and testing across hardware.
