Could you build this?

Partial The UI and summarization layer are straightforward, but reliable local real-time transcription with system audio capture across Windows, macOS, and Linux is a hard engineering problem.

What it would actually take: Build an Electron or Tauri shell around a local speech model such as whisper.cpp or faster-whisper, with an LLM for summaries that runs locally or via a user-supplied key. The hard parts are per-OS system audio capture (WASAPI loopback, ScreenCaptureKit or BlackHole, PulseAudio/PipeWire), low-latency streaming, and speaker handling. This needs a developer comfortable with native audio APIs and cross-platform packaging.
