Summary

Temporarily hide the live summary panels in both admin and viewer interfaces to maximize the transcript experience and give users the full screen width for reading.

Changes Made

Admin View (admin.html)

  • Grid Layout: Changed from 1fr 1fr (50/50 split) to 1fr (full width)
  • Summary Panel: Hidden with display: none
  • Comment Added: Marked as "TEMPORARILY DISABLED" for easy re-enabling later
  • Transcript: Now takes up the full width of the screen

Viewer View (viewer.html)

  • Summary Panel CSS: Added display: none to .summary-panel class
  • Comment Added: Marked as "TEMPORARILY DISABLED" for easy re-enabling later
  • Transcript/Translation: Now takes up the full width of the screen

Benefits

Maximized Reading Experience: Full screen width for transcripts
Less Distraction: Users can focus on the transcript content
Better Readability: More horizontal space for longer lines
Easy to Re-enable: All summary code remains intact, just hidden with CSS/layout changes

Visual Impact

Before:

+------------------+------------------+
| Transcript       | Live Summary     |
| (50% width)      | (50% width)      |
+------------------+------------------+

After:

+-------------------------------------+
| Transcript                          |
| (100% width)                        |
+-------------------------------------+

Technical Details

  • Summary panels are not removed, just hidden
  • All backend summary functionality remains intact
  • Summarization banner still exists (also hidden when not generating)
  • To re-enable: Remove display: none and restore grid layout

Notes

This is a temporary change to improve the user experience. The summary feature can be re-enabled at any time by:

  1. Restoring grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr in admin.html
  2. Removing display: none from .summary-panel in viewer.html

Hide the live summary panels in both admin and viewer interfaces to focus
on the transcript experience:
- Admin: Changed grid from 50/50 split to full-width transcript
- Viewer: Hidden summary panel with display: none
- Summary panels marked as "TEMPORARILY DISABLED" for easy re-enabling

This gives users the full screen width for reading transcripts without
the distraction of the summary panel.

Document the ENABLE_SUMMARIZATION environment variable in the example file
to help users disable the summarization model and save ~3-4GB VRAM.
