This is very interesting. Synchronizing the image and the text is a problem that is well known to be the key to a better proofreading environment, and the solution given here using data available in Abbyy files is brilliant. Still, some of pgdp solutions are better in spotting errors; here I see too much visual clutter and difficulties in appreciating errors in spacing, and identifying typos like arid for and. But basically the problem here is having too much of good things, combining with pgdp experience I believe that we are near to a real revolution in distributed proofreading. Carlo
