- Notification – Instant notification of successful image upload and processing
- ProgressBar – Visual feedback when AI processes images and text
- DropDownList – Assists users in choosing different languages for translation
- TextArea – Shows extracted text, making editing and summarization easier
- Dialog – Employed for confirmation dialogues and AI-generated summaries
- Card – Displays AI-generated captions and translations in a clean format
- Tooltip – Mouse-over definitions for feature icons and buttons
- TabStrip – Initially implemented for feature toggling, eventually substituted with buttons for improved workflow
