- TazeTSchnitzel 15y agoReCAPTCHA is terrible at this. It doesn't achieve its goal of reading books well, since it frequently brings up words that use unusual letters or diacritics that most users won't be able to type. Because of those letters, transliterations by one user can be wildly different from another, making the system think you got it "wrong". And finally, they're often hard to read.
- diggan 15y agoIt does achive it's goals. It uses two words. One word that they know what letters it is and one that the letters is unknown. Read more here: http://www.google.com/recaptcha/learnmore http://www.google.com/recaptcha/learnmore
- toyg 15y agoTangentially, has anyone seen the actual hard data produced by recaptcha? It's hard to say whether it's effective or not, without looking at actual numbers (i.e. ratio of correct results, average results per image etc etc).
