Two animated diagrams for the voice AI post on voice-api, meant to replace some of the prose.

  • <SpeechToText />: the human speaks, the AI listens. WebRTC loses "capital" for good and the AI asks you to repeat yourself. MoQ retransmits, the AI falls behind, then catches up before you finish talking.
  • <TextToSpeech />: the AI speaks faster than real-time. WebRTC paces audio at human speed and loses "Obviously.". MoQ sends everything ASAP, the player buffers, and the retransmits land before playback needs them.

Implementation: a Solid island rendering SVG. Everything is a pure function of one clock, so it's scrubbable and deterministic, with no new dependencies. It plays only while on screen, loops, and respects prefers-reduced-motion.

Hand-drawn art: every drawn element (kraken, packets, lane avatars, a full-panel backdrop/overlay, font) can be swapped via an art prop. A slot given an array of images animates frame by frame. Slot sizes are documented on the Art interface in src/components/voice/diagram.tsx.

Usage in MDX:

import SpeechToText from "@/components/voice/stt.tsx";

<SpeechToText client:visible art={{ kraken: "/blog/<post>/kraken.png", wobble: true }} />

Nothing uses the components until the post imports them.

Two Solid.js SVG animations for the voice AI blog post: speech-to-text
(retransmit and catch up vs. drop) and text-to-speech (send ASAP and buffer
vs. pace at real-time). Everything is a pure function of one clock, so the
animation is scrubbable. Every drawn element can be swapped for hand-drawn
art via an `art` prop.

P2 Badge Avoid leaving playback dead in reduced-motion mode

When prefers-reduced-motion: reduce is enabled, this early return skips creation of the animation-frame loop but leaves the Play button active. Clicking it resets the completed diagram to time zero and changes the control to Pause, yet time can never advance, so the diagram remains frozen in a misleading playing state. Either retain the clock for explicitly requested playback while suppressing autoplay, or disable/hide the playback controls in this mode.

Review in Change Stack →

Navigate logical layers of code changes, visualize relationships, and explore their blast radius.

Walkthrough

The change adds a shared model for voice packet timing and loss, an animated SVG diagram with playback controls, and speech-to-text and text-to-speech comparisons for WebRTC and MoQ. The diagrams show packet transfers, losses, retransmissions, track state, and comparison results.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a2fae

The diagrams can freeze after Play is pressed under reduced motion or begin before enough of the diagram is visible. These localized playback issues should be fixed before the diagrams are used.

Under reduced motion, the Play button breaks the diagram.

If prefers-reduced-motion: reduce matches, onMount returns before it starts the requestAnimationFrame loop. t is props.end. A user click on Play then runs setT(0) and setPlaying(true). No tick loop advances t. The diagram stays blank at 0s, and the button shows "Pause".

Keep the reduced-motion behavior: no auto-play and start on the final frame. Also keep the tick loop so that a user-started Play works.

This finding relates to the retrieved learning about honoring prefers-reduced-motion. The code honors that preference, but the explicit Play control then fails.

 				setT(next > props.end + HOLD ? 0 : next);
 			}
 			frame = requestAnimationFrame(tick);

<excerpt>IntersectionObserver: observe() method - Web APIs | MDN - Skip to main content - Skip to search # IntersectionObserver: observe() method Baseline Widely available This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since March 2019. - Learn more - See full compatibility The`observe()` method of the IntersectionObserver interface adds an element to the set of target elements being watched by the`IntersectionObserver`. One observer has one set of thresholds and one root, but can watch multiple target elements for visibility changes in keeping with those. To stop observing the element, call IntersectionObserver.unobserve(). When the visibility of the specified element crosses over one of the observer&`#39`;s visibility thresholds (as listed in IntersectionObserver.thresholds), the observer&`#39`;s callback is executed with an array of IntersectionObserverEntry objects representing the intersection changes which occurred. Note that this design allows multiple elements&`#39`; intersection changes to be processed by a single call to the callback. Note: The observer callback will always fire the first render cycle after`observe()` is called, even if the observed element has not yet moved with respect to the viewport. This means that, for example, an element that is outside the viewport when`observe()` is called on it will result in the callback being immediately called with at least one entry with intersecting set to`false`. An element inside the viewport will result in the callback being immediately called with at least one entry with`intersecting` set to`true`. ## Syntax js ``` observe(targetElement) ``` ### Parameters `targetElement` An element whose visibility within the root is to be monitored. This element must be a descendant of the root element (or contained within the current document, if the root is the document&`#39`;s viewport). If this element is already being observed, this method does nothing. ### Return value None (undefined). ## Examples js ``` // Register IntersectionObserver const io = new IntersectionObserver((entries) =&gt; { entries.forEach((entry) =&gt; { if (entry.intersectionRatio &gt; 0) { // Add &`#39`;active&`#39`; class if observation target is inside viewport entry.target.classList.add(&quot;active&quot;); } else { // Remove &`#39`;active&`#39`; class otherwise entry.target.classList.remove(&quot;active&quot;); } }); }); // Declares what to observe, and observes its properties. const boxElList = document.querySelectorAll(&quot;.box&quot;); boxElList.forEach((el) =&gt; { io.observe(el); }); ``` ## Specifications | Specification | | --- | | Intersection Observer# dom-intersectionobserver-observe | ## Browser compatibility ## See also</excerpt>

<excerpt>The degree of intersection between the target element and its root is the intersection ratio. This is a representation of the percentage of the target element which is visible as a value between 0.0 and 1.0. ... A threshold of 1.0 means that when 100% of the target is visible within the element specified by the `root` option, the callback is invoked. ... `threshold` : Either a single number or an array of numbers which indicate at what percentage of the target&`#39`;s visibility the observer&`#39`;s callback should be executed. If you only want to detect when visibility passes the 50% mark, you can use a value of 0.5. If you want the callback to run every time visibility passes another 25%, you would specify the array [0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1]. The default is 0 (meaning the callback will be run as soon as the target element intersects or touches the boundary of the root, even if no pixels are yet visible). A value of 1.0 means that the threshold isn&`#39`;t considered passed until every pixel is visible. ... `delay` : When tracking target visibility (trackVisibility is `true`), this can be used to set the minimum delay in milliseconds between notifications from this observer. Limiting the notification rate is desirable because the visibility calculation is computationally intensive. If tracking visibility, the value will ... set to 100 for any value less than ... 100, and ... largest tolerable value. The value is ... 0 by default ... ``` const callback = (entries, observer) =&gt; { entries.forEach((entry) =&gt; { // Each entry describes an intersection change for one observed // target element: // entry.boundingClientRect // entry.intersectionRatio // entry.intersectionRect // entry.isIntersecting // entry.rootBounds // entry.target // entry.time }); }; ``` ... The list of entries received by the callback includes one `IntersectionObserverEntry` object for each threshold-crossing event — multiple entries can be received at a time, either from multiple targets or from a single target crossing multiple thresholds in a short amount of time. The entries are dispatched using a queue, so they should be ordered by the time they were generated, but you should preferably use `IntersectionObserverEntry.time` to correctly order them. Each entry describes how much of a given element is intersecting with the root element, whether or not the element is considered to be intersecting or not, etc. The entry only contains information about that particular instant — if you want information that requires tracking over time, such as the scroll direction and speed, you may need to compute that yourself by memoizing previously received entries. ... The code snippet below shows a callback which keeps a counter of how many times elements transition from not intersecting the root to intersecting by at least 75%. For a threshold value of 0.0 (default) the callback is called approximately upon transition of the boolean value of `isIntersecting`. The snippet thus first checks that the transition is a positive one, then determines whether `intersectionRatio` is above 75%, in which case it increments the counter. ... ``` const intersectionCallback = (entries) =&gt; { entries.forEach((entry) =&gt; { if (entry.isIntersecting) { let elem = entry.target; if (entry.intersectionRatio &gt;= 0.75) { intersectionCounter++; } } }); }; ``` ... Rather than reporting every infinitesimal change in how much a target element is visible, the Intersection Observer API uses thresholds. When you create an observer, you can provide one or more numeric values representing percentages of the target element which are visible. Then, the API only reports changes to visibility which cross these thresholds. ... When the callback is invoked, it receives a list of `IntersectionObserverEntry` objects, one for each observed target which has had the degree to which it intersects the root change such that the amount exposed crosses over one of the thresholds, in either direction. ...

<excerpt>IntersectionObserver - Web APIs | MDN # IntersectionObserver Baseline Widely available * This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since March 2019. * Some parts of this feature may have varying levels of support. - Learn more - See full compatibility The `IntersectionObserver` interface of the Intersection Observer API provides a way to asynchronously observe changes in the intersection of a target element with an ancestor element or with a top-level document&`#39`;s viewport. The ancestor element or viewport is referred to as the root. When an `IntersectionObserver` is created, it&`#39`;s configured to watch for given ratios of visibility within the root. The configuration cannot be changed once the `IntersectionObserver` is created, so a given observer object is only useful for watching for specific changes in degree of visibility; however, you can watch multiple target elements with the same observer. ## Constructor `IntersectionObserver()` : Creates a new `IntersectionObserver` object which will execute a specified callback function when it detects that a target element&`#39`;s visibility has crossed one or more thresholds. ## Instance properties `IntersectionObserver.delay` Read only : An integer indicating the minimum delay between notifications from this observer. `IntersectionObserver.root` Read only : The `Element` or `Document` whose bounds are used as the bounding box when testing for intersection. If no `root` value was passed to the constructor or its value is `null`, the top-level document&`#39`;s viewport is used. `IntersectionObserver.rootMargin` Read only : An offset rectangle applied to the root&`#39`;s bounding box when calculating intersections, effectively shrinking or growing the root for calculation purposes. The value returned by this property may not be the same as the one specified when calling the constructor as it may be changed to match internal requirements. Each offset can be expressed in pixels (`px`) or percentages (`%`). The default is &quot;0px 0px 0px 0px&quot;. `IntersectionObserver.scrollMargin` Read only : An offset rectangle applied to each scroll container on the path from intersection root to target, effectively shrinking or growing the clip rectangles used to calculate intersections. The value returned by this property may not be the same as the one specified when calling the constructor. `IntersectionObserver.thresholds` Read only : A list of thresholds, sorted in increasing numeric order, where each threshold is a ratio of intersection area to bounding box area of an observed target. Notifications for a target are generated when any of the thresholds are crossed for that target. If no value was passed to the constructor, 0 is used. `IntersectionObserver.trackVisibility` Read only : A boolean indicating whether this `IntersectionObserver` is checking that the target does not have compromised visibility. ## Instance methods `IntersectionObserver.disconnect()` : Stops the `IntersectionObserver` object from observing any target. `IntersectionObserver.observe()` : Tells the `IntersectionObserver` a target element to observe. `IntersectionObserver.takeRecords()` : Returns an array of `IntersectionObserverEntry` objects for all observed targets. `IntersectionObserver.unobserve()` : Tells the `IntersectionObserver` to stop observing a particular target element. ## Examples ``` const intersectionObserver = new IntersectionObserver((entries) =&gt; { // If intersectionRatio is 0, the target is out of view // and we do not need to do anything. if (entries[0].intersectionRatio &lt;= 0) return; loadItems(10); console.log(&quot;Loaded new items&quot;); }); // start observing intersectionObserver.observe(document.querySelector(&quot;.scrollerFooter&quot;)); ``` ## Specifications | Specification | | --- | | Intersection Observer # intersection-observer-interface |</excerpt>

Note: In `MutationObserver`, the `MutationObserverInit` options are passed to `observe()` while in `IntersectionObserver` they are passed to the constructor. This is because for MutationObserver, each `Node` being observed could have a different set of attributes to filter for. For `IntersectionObserver`, developers may choose to use a single observer to track multiple targets using the same set of options; or they may use a different observer for each tracked target. `rootMargin` or `threshold` values for each target seems to introduce more complexity without solving additional use-cases.

Use the intersection ratio to gate playback.

threshold: 0.5 controls observer notifications, but entry.isIntersecting is true for any visible portion of the diagram. A partially visible diagram can therefore start advancing before 50% is visible.

Suggested fix
-		const observer = new IntersectionObserver(([entry]) => setPlaying(entry.isIntersecting), { threshold: 0.5 });
+		const observer = new IntersectionObserver(([entry]) => setPlaying(entry.intersectionRatio >= 0.5), { threshold: 0.5 });
