There are different solutions for this task and I know these three:

All of these repos seem to consist mainly of some JavaScript and CSS files. The first two repos have both a link to some demo page where I have taken the pictures from.

The first one provides a Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey script which allows to inject this overlay on any suitable hocr website online and local (some configuration may be possible for that). I don't know how difficult it is to use the other solutins for your own hocr files, but it should be doable.
