Now I think about it, for something that's already available as .txt, you could semi-automate the process. Every time it detects a possible adjective, pop up a dialogue with the word, a couple of sentences of context, and a single keystroke to accept/reject. (My work uses a similar setup for quality-checking OCR text capture.)
Probably overkill, but I like overkill. And there are plenty of other authors who'd benefit from the same treatment, especially if it's expanded to adverbs.
