- Expandable details showing pros/cons when selected
- Accessibility support with ARIA labels and keyboard navigation
- Responsive design for mobile and desktop
- Loading states and disabled states during processing
✅ Quality Comparison Interface (AC 4)
- Side-by-side transcript display with synchronized scrolling
- Quality metrics visualization with progress bars and badges
- Difference highlighting with significance levels
- Technical terms extraction and improvement tracking
- Processing time comparison with efficiency metrics
✅ Advanced Features
- Tabbed interface for different comparison views
- Export functionality for comparison reports
- Share capabilities for collaboration
- Recommendation system based on quality analysis
- Mock data integration for development and testing
TypeScript Architecture Highlights
Type Safety Features
- Discriminated unions for API responses (
DualTranscriptResponse) - Branded types for VideoId and JobId to prevent parameter mixing
- Type guards for runtime type checking
- Conditional types for flexible transcript result handling
Error Handling
- Specific error types with recovery strategies
- Result/Either pattern for clean error propagation
- Comprehensive error boundaries in components
State Management
- Custom hooks with proper TypeScript inference
- Immutable state updates with type safety
- Async operation handling with proper error states
Component API Design
TranscriptSelector
interface TranscriptSelectorProps {
value: TranscriptSource;
onChange: (source: TranscriptSource, options?: TranscriptSelectionOptions) => void;
videoId?: string;
estimatedDuration?: number;
disabled?: boolean;
loading?: boolean;
showEstimates?: boolean;
showQualityIndicators?: boolean;
// ... additional props
}
TranscriptComparison
interface TranscriptComparisonProps {
data: TranscriptComparisonData;
onSelectTranscript: (source: Exclude<TranscriptSource, 'both'>) => void;
selectedTranscript?: Exclude<TranscriptSource, 'both'>;
showTimestamps?: boolean;
showQualityMetrics?: boolean;
// ... additional props
}
Updated SummarizeForm
export interface SummarizeFormData {
url: string;
videoId: string;
transcriptSource: TranscriptSource;
transcriptOptions: TranscriptSelectionOptions;
}
interface SummarizeFormProps {
onSubmit: (data: SummarizeFormData) => Promise<void>;
showTranscriptOptions?: boolean;
initialTranscriptSource?: TranscriptSource;
// ... additional props
}
Development & Testing
Demo Page
- URL:
/demo/transcript-comparison - Features: Interactive demo with mock data
- Purpose: Showcase comparison functionality without backend integration
- Mock Data: Realistic transcript differences showing punctuation improvements
Development Workflow
- Type-first development with comprehensive TypeScript definitions
- Component isolation with clear prop interfaces
- Reusable hooks for state management
- Mock data integration for development and testing
Integration Points
Ready for Backend Integration
- API client interfaces defined and ready for implementation
- Error handling patterns established for backend failures
- Loading states implemented for async operations
- WebSocket integration points prepared for real-time updates
Backward Compatibility
- Existing components continue to work unchanged
- Progressive enhancement - transcript options show only when URL is valid
- Graceful fallbacks when new features are unavailable
Performance Optimizations
React Performance
- React.memo usage for expensive comparison components
- useMemo/useCallback for expensive computations
- Debounced interactions for user input
- Virtual scrolling ready for large transcript segments
Bundle Optimization
- Tree shaking friendly exports
- Lazy loading patterns for comparison component
- Code splitting by feature
Accessibility Features
WCAG Compliance
- Keyboard navigation support throughout
- Screen reader compatibility with proper ARIA labels
- Focus management for modal interactions
- High contrast support for visual indicators
Progressive Enhancement
- Works without JavaScript for basic form submission
- Enhanced experience with JavaScript enabled
- Responsive design across all device sizes
Next Steps
Backend Integration (Post-Frontend)
- API endpoint integration - Connect to dual transcript backend API
- WebSocket integration - Real-time progress updates
- Error handling - Map backend errors to frontend error states
- Caching strategy - Implement client-side transcript caching
Enhancements (Future Iterations)
- Keyboard shortcuts for power users
- Advanced filtering in comparison view
- Custom comparison algorithms user selection
- Export format options (PDF, Word, etc.)
