nobody has thoughts on a tool to help mark italics?

why does this not surprise me?

at any rate, the reasoning will be explained later, but
for now, go try "the italics game" -- if you feel like it.

when you find an italics word on the scan, click it, so
it's surrounded by a bounding-box, either blue or red.
(the bounding-box toggles on and off if you re-click.)

when you're done with a page, click "grade me now",
and you'll get a report on how well you performed...

this game is not timed, so take as long as you need on
each page, but remember that this book has 366 pages,
so 1 minute per page means this job will take _7_hours_.

even 1/2 minute on each page still means 3.5 hours...

to get it down to 2 hours, each page has just 20 seconds.
(19 seconds if you want a 5-minute-break after an hour.)
