This would be an amazing integration for the mobile app i'm developing!

faster-whisper can't be packaged for Flet mobile because its entire native stack is unbuildable for iOS/Android:

ctranslate2 (the inference engine) — no source distribution on PyPI and no existing mobile build.
onnxruntime (used for the Silero VAD) — no source distribution; only desktop/server wheels.
av/PyAV (audio decoding) — needs a full FFmpeg native chain that isn't available here.
