[ossrp-control] Re: Making Web Based Word Verification Tests Accessible

Speaking for myself, yes, I"d definitely be interested. The whole idea of 
making those things accessible is interesting, because if you can do it, you're 
actually defeating the whole purpose they're  there in the first 
place, which is to make it impossible for automated tools to use the sites 
these distorted pictures are there to protect.

Hi, 

I think it may be possible to make those web based word verification tests that 
entities such as Google, Yahoo, etc. are using, accessible.  It's a matter of 
creating AI to group 
things together, based on Gestalt perceptual laws, then pattern matching the 
resultant shape against a description of the letters and numbers. 

If I get this to the point where I think it's an achievable goal, would people 
be interested in seeing this as a feature?
