When confronted with reCAPTCHA I always switch to the audio-version as that:
- is generally easier to solve (download the sound clip using curl or wget, type in the nonsense it says, done)
- does not turn me into a mechanical Turk training Google's AI
- works in 'any browser' by circumventing the browser (by using wget/curl), thereby not allowing Google to punish me for not using their dragnet/browser.
- epanchin 7y agoWhile you find this convenient, others may find it imperative. Somewhat akin to labelling your pet dog a support animal or using a disabled bathroom.

- zuppy 7y agoI'm using the audio too. The image captcha is simply broken, it often doesn't let me pass even though I've provided the only valid answer.
- atomwaffel 7y ago> does not turn me into a mechanical Turk training Google's AI I’ve been wondering about that. Are you sure you’re not training their speech recognition AI?
- Yetanfou 7y agoNo, I'm not sure. It deem it unlikely though as those sound snippets are rather short and uncomplicated, something which I'd think any reasonable STT-system should be able to handle - which makes it vulnerable to those systems as well.
