Fight Spam and Save Shakespeare

[Gmicrosh]

the best thing is that by doing it incorrectly you are changing history

just write one word right and the other wrong and you have 50% chance of getting it right

[ferrari360000]

anyone any idea how to get rid of this piece of SHIT????

[mechamind90]

Now if only CAPTCHA could help prevent the annoying e-mail spam that people are receiving from accounts that claim to increase the number of subscribers.

[sparkybigptalkshow]

i am so pissed at the YouTube captchas i can't even see straight!

[delbitersoup]

FUCK captcha. I just failed to register to a site because of this piece of crap. They started off ok. But now the font is becoming unreadable to humans too. Fucking pathetic rubbish. The developers of this system need a slap.

[epcdaniel]

I F-N hate captchas. Force the use of standard logins with proper passwords and the amount of captchas needed to filter spam will go down by 80%. It's bad enough they're not even real words most of the time or are so friggin distorted, you can't read them. Even clicking "can't read" or "new" to grab another, legible captcha, it just gives you one worse than the previous. HEY GOOGLE, WHERE'S THE CAPTCHA TO FILTER YOUR SPAM FROM YOUTUBE VIDEOS? Fuckers. You're the biggest spammer on the 'net.

[sparkybigptalkshow]

hahaha she failed at logging onto Facebook

[sparkybigptalkshow]

I fucking hate it. And spam is smarter so now they can get passed. I swear ill kick this guys ass if i ever see him.

[Arioster]

We invented SweetCaptcha , bec' of 4 reasons :

1.The current ones sucks ...

2. Design - we wanted the CPATCHA design look similar to our site design.

3. Fun .

4. Mobile - easy to use on mobiles - iPhone , iPads and Android machines .

check the WP plugin , and let us know what you all think about it :)

[livebigly]

reCAPTCHA just piggybacks onto CAPTCHA's functionality, putting millions of humans to work unknowingly decipher scanned words under the guise of it being a "good cause." But really it's just making Google (which owns reCAPTCHA) more powerful. It's a business model right out of The Matrix.

What reCAPTCHA doesn't tell you is that you don't have to participate. Enter only the word that isn't a real word (the other word is optional).

[epocs]

every single word that has any kind of apostrophe, commas, symbols or any kind of punctuation is the unkown word.... garanteeed.

just type poopy everytime you see something with a punctuation and focus on doing the other word correctly...

[ansonx10]

I don't think they're annoying. I could sit down for 10 minutes or more just using it to digitize words.

Does the "WHAT IS reCAPTCHA" page on the site actually digitize books? Or is it just for show?

I think they're fun actually. I'm sure they're keeping your brain active somehow.

[J05hyyy]

True, captchas are fucking annoying ... but spam is worse. Papalevies comment was spot on, you can trick the computer if you know which word wasn't recognised properly.

I did it and now I feel bad. :(

[TestECull]

I don't really give a shit about what the captcha is doing. It is still fucking annoying.

[ZeekyQSantos]

@TestECull You're TestEcull of the escapist yes?

[emerald2142]

Wait...if the computer can tell whether or not I got the captcha right, doesn't that mean it's already been solved by either another human or the computer?

[1rescen1]

Motherfucker this capcay inventor.

[kurtfruge123]

[kurtfruge123]

[master777999]

This is absolutely genius. 

[vinzer72banned]

TIEM TO TROLL RE CAPTCHA

[OilyTower]

ARGH FUCK YOU ALL IDIOTS WHO CREATED captchas, it's annoying and it wastes my time since it's often imossible to get it right because since some of the letters are blended together, I don't give a fuck about fucking shitty litterature since it's mosty uninteressting :/

[Laxcarl]

The most annoying invention EVER!

[buckmajor]

Now I understand completely why I keep getting spams when no one filled in my form. I will surely add this to my website forms, and a whole lot of other forms lol.

[Lindner12ewald]

Fuck off

[BeziDancer]

this is shit



[spamburgerizer]

I've always just typed one spam word and one real one whenever I see a recaptcha.

[ooglizer]

captchas suck!

[Fleshshredder]

@ooglizer But prevent spambots on e.g. forums.

Spambots suck for the admin much more. And for the user it isnt nice also to see everyday some spambot threads about porn / viagra or wow power leveling .....

[KnexFudge360]

My friend often senda me spam about crush, wich don't happen because spam is not real, but now she showed me a message about a "girl" that was dead and is supposed to kill me at night, but it'll never happen because I read tons of that spam and I'm alive, oh yeah and the picture that the e-mail had was fake, a sculpture.

[kapilrakh]

I have a question..if the user writes the "real" captcha properly but fails to recognize the "recaptcha (unknown)"..the library will end up in getting all the spelling mistakes

[7Lycosa7]

by the way, how is this going to help digitalize books? The words have already been solved by someone, if they weren't then people would get the captcha right no matter what they typed in.

[ilarisani]

There are two words for each test: one known, one unknown. (You don't know which one is which.)

The known one is the "real" captcha, the unknown one helps with digitizing books.

[3C16790A]

I also dont understand...

[7Lycosa7]

10 seconds of our precious time wasted? OH NO!!!

[robcssplayer]

Lol. I want to hear "Head-on, apply directly to the forehead" about 20 times in a row :D

[cpiMan666]

Recpatha SUCKS !!!!!!! have they thinked those pll who live in europe and they can fck understand that gind on speell style i have spend now 3 hour trying to write two fcking words !!!!!!!!!

[robcssplayer]

Are you stupid? You can't even spell yourself bud. How about you learn what reCaptcha is first? Kthx.

[misterbuckethead]

the voice over lady sounds like the HEAD ON APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD lady.

[DanielWatson06]

cool

[truexgunnerxchronica]

the irony in this is after i watched the video i wanted to comment and it wanted me to put the letters in xD

[rbq123]

lol

[Arebum]

sweet

[thevideotutorialman]

in a near future, computers gonna solves that problem...why?

One day, i was having one of these codes and there was an ''error in the page''

and gess what? the error was the image of the code, that code was normal letters of any sentences of a computer, and it worked, so in the future, computer gonna read the informations of the image and find out the code

[exspyrd]

Genius!

[Truthiness231]

Bril

[MySporeHasBig]

It makes my head hurt -.-

[tapbubble9]

Great idea. Love the HD too.

[what356]

no1 wud care

[helmus2000]

But?

You have to know the solution in order to correct the captcha , i don't get it lol

[papalevies]

Well, each 'recaptcha' has 2 words, one 'control' word that the computer knows the answer to, and a fragment of text that comes from those old documents that the computer can't decipher. If you pass the test by being correct about the control word, the computer assumes you deciphered the second word correctly too. Then it compares it to other people who have solved a control word correctly and had the same second word and if they match, it registers the unknown word's translation.

[helmus2000]

Wow thx for the answer man!

I get it now

[kcjenner1]

'papalevies' Thank you for an excellent and detailed explanation. I have not liked those things and could swear that I typed in EXACTLY what was there - and they say 'Try Again'

So for the 'two-word' (recaptach) puzzles I should make sure it is a real word.

[cplover3009]

@papalevies so does that mean i can type in '(correct word ) fuck'? LOL

[dhawkins1234]

@cplover3009 Only if you knew which one was the control word. They often look equally bad, because words that used to be unknown are turned into control words after enough responses agree.

[Mikemc]

@papalevies

So if a team (web board) of trollers decided to purposely mistype captcha words then what?

[SmilingMoon2008]

Well it's good but it could have been shorter. 3 letters at least?

[Probewitch]

Shakespear started out with a straight forward plageriszm of somebody elses work (I wish people wouldn't see him as such a good example). Secondly: Xerox has had an extremely good OCR program out for years; I use it to have my computer read books to me.

[SauronsEye]

Sweet.

[insanity54]

The person who originally puts the captcha together has to read the text themselves and input the correct answer, long before the captcha is on a website. This means that the developer just did the work of deciphering the text, and captchas are still a waste of time for the end user, and millions of people globally.

[Bucknik]

That's the first thing I thought of. If the user is doing the deciphering, how does the web site know if the answer is correct or not?

I still wouldn't call captchas a waste of time, since it does prevent bots from spamming, which is a good thing.

[insanity54]

Very true. Without captchas, spam would be out of control.

[hi19hi19]

What happens is, there's one standard captcha, coded by the programmer to make sure the user is human. Then, there's another undesciferable text from a scanned book, without a programmed "right answer". The thinking is, using the first captacha, the user prooves they are human. Then, their interpretation of the second, previously unknown captcha is sent to the library or archive as an accepted reading. The thinking is, that if hundreds of people decipher a word, they will mostly get it right.

[insanity54]

Alright, makes sense now, thanks! :)

[act4life8]

haha

i know!

thats so what i was just thinking!

lol

[PaganRon]

Neet idea. :-)

[AnotherRandomFellow]

nice!
