Could you build this?
No Silent speech dictation from lip movement requires visual speech recognition models that are research-grade and need large, specialized training data to be accurate. A vibe-coded wrapper cannot reach a usable quality bar.
What it would actually take: A real version needs a camera-based visual speech recognition model, trained or fine-tuned on paired lip-video and text datasets, plus local inference optimized for Apple Silicon. Building that takes ML research expertise and substantial data and compute, beyond what vibe coding alone supplies.
