I imagine something like this:
1. as soon as a djvu file with a text layer is uploaded, a complete set of pages text layers is extracted, saving words coordinates too; 2. such text layers could be browsed by a script, extracting all words marked as doubtful (usually with a ^ characters), but extracting too words which don't match with a good dictionary; 3. a dynamic recaptcha database is updated and word images are submitted to wiki contributors, both as a formal captcha for unlogged user edits, and as a volunteer job to help wikisource projects; updates will fix text files; 4. a tool should be build, to upload "pure text" from such text files into any wikisource project; 5. finally refined text could be re-uploaded into djvu file, so converting it into a "djvu file with a wiki text layer".
