I use despeckling for every book I process using Scantailor, and manual review of speckles always took me most of the time I spent on a book digitalisation, since you need to check each page whether there are no "false positives" that would clear proper contents of the book (like dots etc).
So I made this little tweak which changes two things in Output → Despeckling tab:
It makes red circular areas highlighting speckles bigger, and thus more visible;
In case there are no detected speckles (and Despeckling is turned on), it will overlay the whole picture with semitransparent red cover, so you immediately know that there are no speckles that you need to check.
