Guys I dont know what I am doing here.

OK so I have been trying to find the right way to develop a program that runs in the background of my MacBook Air 2021 and all It will do is create a read-only text transcript file of the speech from the audio output: speaker, headphones, etc. Not only that, but the original speech from the audio/video file will be transcripted into a read-only text file. Not only that but there will be a read-only file created to pinpoint he origin of the audio speaker output and the origin of the file the audio is supposedly coming from. So each time I play a video or movie whether its YouTube Netflix prime video Vimeo etc, an instance will occur that creates 4 of the read-only text files. The directory could be created when the program is setup on my laptop, and I could change the directory if need be.

I read some things about programming in swift and it seems overwhelming in the sense that this program could take more time than I expect it to in order to be fully functional.

And another thing is that I see no commercial value in this program/product so it will essentially be an example of the many possibilities of swift.

I believe that the program needs these specifications but It could be written in a way I dont expect it to be written.

Maybe If I was given a direction of what book would be best for developing this program, completely full of all the jargon I need to learn. I would be forever grateful to the swift development team. But this program seems very unnecessary I guess so I am not expecting too much.

Start by doing a search on google for swift tutorials and start with an introductory tutorial. If you aren't much of a self learner then enrolling in a programming, IT or computer science course at your local educational institution is another starting point.

it sounds like you don't have any background in programming, so yes it will take a significant investment of time. 6-12 months at least if you are serious about it, maybe more.

thanks for the input
