The "proofreading interface" should be completely different from "formatting interface", just displaying text, source image and tools devoted to proofreading; nothing more than this. Tools buttons/links should be fixed on the screen, while text and source image only should scroll; a simple, and customable procedure to link any tool with shortcut keys should be implemented. Built-in spelling checkers are excellent for odern languages, but they are almost of no help for ancient texts, where OCR mistakes are particularly heavy and frequent; OCR adds specific mistakes when fixing scan results by comparison with a modern language dictionary, since it sees ancient variants of words as "mistakes". The idea was initially proposed by Alex Brollo at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Micru/Wikisource_across_projects.
