No, he just hard-coded the number shapes. As long as the numbers used the same font as the example (and don't overlap), it should work just fine.
OCR would probably be more robust in general (for varying fonts and number shapes)... but it's simply absurd to call G-WAN's scheme a better captcha. More obscure and less targeted? Perhaps.
- samuirai 14y agoI thought about using OCR - just to over-engineer it. But I wanted to show how the characters are perfectly aligned and how clear the font is. I would like to understand, what he thought, why this Captcha is so special.

- ers35 14y agoBoth you and the OP have misunderstood the purpose of the CAPTCHA example. See my post[1] for an explanation. [1]http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4113826 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4113826

- ers35 14y agoI am not the author. For "proof", see my many conversations on the G-WAN forum.[1] [1]http://forum.gwan.com/index.php?p=/profile/discussions/1053/ers35 http://forum.gwan.com/index.php?p=/profile/discussions/1053/...
- Ygg2 14y agoI don't think he is. I read the G-WAN authors replies. The author doesn't have as good grasp of English and he sounds way crazier.
