Remove the white box boundaries from around the names in Review Names

In the Review Names opportunity, the shaded areas have relatively thick white boundaries around them. Those boundaries prevent seeing parts of the letters that are to be recognized, making it difficult to see if the original transcription is correct. In the mobile app, those boxes don't have boundaries that obscure the details of the letters in the names.


Please get rid of the boxes. They add nothing and obscure important details. Leave the shading only and make it light and transparent. I am attaching an example that came up as the first name to be reviewed when writing this suggestion and looking for an example--I didn't even have to look far. As you can see, the top of the G is obscured by the white boundary. More importantly, most of the tail on what could be an N or a W is mostly obscured. In other examples periods are completely covered up as well as important parts of letters--preventing the possibility of an accurate correction or even inviting a correction that is not accurate due to a letter looking like one that it is not.


Thank you!
