- vermilingua 7y agoI feel like there must be some protection in place against using mTurk with captcha, or it would have already been abused.
- CriticalCathed 7y agoMturk's turnaround for this stuff can't be fast enough to work would be my guess. I know jobs I put up there for transcription, despite a generous bonus, were always delayed for at the very least hours.
- abcpassword 7y agoYou misunderstand. You keep a live page open and point jobs to the live page. No need to put a captcha image in the mturk job. You can absolutely purchase captcha answers.
- adventskalender 7y agoA couple of years ago I saw somebody giving a talk, where they demonstrated a CAPCHA-Solving API, with people from India solving the CAPCHAs for a few cents.
- edm0nd 7y agoThat's basically what the DeathByCaptcha server is.
- adventskalender 7y agoThanks - I just wanted to say such services exist or used to exist, didn't remember the name.
