Have you thought about including Documentcloud annotation style as an option? #5

I realized that Transcribable is designed to make text entries in fields designated by who ever sets it up. The fields are defined and that info goes to a database which is great. But what happens if you want to give your users the possibility of making annotations in the documents as in DocumentCloud style, so they are marked. I assume you already thought about this but maybe decided not to go that way for a reason?
