Why are captchas so hard to read




















If there is a sliver of a bus in a square, do you have to click it? When selecting traffic lights, do you click the poles? When asked these questions, Google advised selecting the majority of squares that have the bus or traffic lights. Then there are the blurry photos, forcing users to move closer to the screen as they try to discern if there is a chimney in the fuzzy distance.

Meriem Guerar, a researcher at the University of Genoa, Italy, offered a simpler explanation for the poor quality of the images. Charles Bergquist said he felt a mix of amusement and frustration when he was asked to pick parking meters, was denied when he chose the one meter shown, and could only solve the puzzle by selecting the meter and two mailboxes.

Google said it is continually working with its customers to find the best balance between user friction and stopping bots. Recent advances in AI have made automated programs better at recognition tasks than humans, said Guerar.

Actions include tilting a smartphone or making micro-movements while typing on a laptop. Want to watch this video? Please identify all the traffic lights first.

In theory, computers can recognize text from images — but to do so reliably, they need a clean, crisp image. Software programs cannot easily identify the letters and numbers by their shape. This is also a test that is difficult for a computer to pass. They might also ask you to perform other actions, such as picking all of the pictures that show a house or a road sign. However, there's a good reason why they are not easier.

Here are some of the most common ones:. OCR, which stands for Optical Character Recognition, is a way for computers to identify text from images. If you want to scan a document into your computer and edit it like any other electronic document, you scan the image into the computer, then use OCR software to convert the image into text. If you try to OCR a document, you'll notice that many words go through without problems, but anything that makes the text a little unclear, like smears or smudges on the paper, causes the OCR software to make errors and confuse the words.

For example, people think they're solving a puzzle or typing a code to get access to an often pornographic picture. WTF would you use a technology that displays unreadable garbage? It's idiots like you that keep supporting this shit, STOP using it and your problems are over.

It's NOT worth it. It's worth it if you don't want anyone to visit your site. It's a wasting my time. FIX IT. Hi Chris, This looks really good. Way to go! I will mention this to the sites I use.

I have absolutely no money for marketing or promotion, but we have slowly been building a community of users. My customers also cannot read the first word of the series, and the audio file is unintelligible. I have lost many sales because of this, so I had to eliminate it from the website.
