Transcribing handwritten text images with a word soup game

The major contribution presented here is the transformation of the tedious process of transcribing text images into an enjoyable game. A web-based application is composed by a word soup interface and a game engine that uses a system for automatic handwriting transcription as input to play the game. This WiP describes the rationale and design principles for the game, envisioning evaluation strategies and deriving insights for future developments.
