Could you build this?

Partial The Windows GUI and PDF/OCR export are codeable with help from AI tools. Real-time document edge detection, perspective correction, and reliable USB camera capture through Media Foundation and DirectShow are harder, specialized computer-vision and Windows-systems work.

What it would actually take: The stack would be a native Windows app (Rust with Slint in this case) bound to Media Foundation and DirectShow for camera enumeration and frame capture. Real-time document detection and perspective correction need OpenCV-style contour detection and homography, plus Tesseract integration for offline OCR. Someone with computer-vision and Windows multimedia experience should own the capture and detection pipeline.
