- Parallel editorial transcriptions and keyword search.
- Document metadata, named concepts, and glossary explanations.

The visual pages are interpretive reconstructions rather than archival scans. Transcriptions and annotations are bundled editorial content, not OCR or automated semantic analysis. This distinction is shown directly in the interface.
