Hi

i want to learn how to decode captchas. was wondering if there is some software out there that can read an image, or at least can be trained to read an image so i can extract the characters

thanks

Is there a particular reason you want to decode a Catchas?

That suspiciously sounds like a bot.

ah yes, guilty before proven innocent.

do you want to know the reason? they are a hassle to deal with. in fact, things are so bad that yahoo made me complete a captcha every time i wanted to send an email!

as I have said before in other places, never in my life have i send any unsolicited junk to anyone, never, and absolutely not with that addy. in fact, i had only had it for just a week! I might have used it three times by then, and sent out a few emails to people i know.

so i've had it with captchas, and i am going to do somethng about it. that is the bottom line

so if you have any ideas, i am all ears. just on a fact finding mission.

I don't think decoding captchas is an easy task, in fact they are made to prevent computers from deconding them.

Take a look at this video, they give a good explanation of captchas.
