%X Nowadays, there are still many handwritten historical documents in archives waiting to be transcribed and indexed. Since  manual  transcription  is  tedious  and  time  consuming,  the automatic  transcription  seems  the  path  to  follow.  However,  the performance of current handwriting recognition techniques is not perfect,  so  a  manual  validation  is  mandatory.  Crowdsourcing  is a  good  strategy  for  manual  validation,  however  it  is  a  tedious task. In this paper we analyze experiences based in gamificationin order to propose and design a gamesourcing framework that increases the interest of users. Then, we describe and analyze our experience when validating the automatic transcription using the gamesourcing  application.  Moreover,  thanks  to  the  combination of  clustering  and  handwriting  recognition  techniques,  we  can speed  up  the  validation  while  maintaining  the  performance.
