I just came across a site that has a great replacement for "Captcha." Human verification made more fun, add it to your website.

No I'm in no way affiliated with this site, I just thought it was pretty cool.

Actually I just saw something like this implemented yesterday, when buying ticket from the movies. I had to grab de Popcorn and put it on a basket. Much better than Captcha. I was trying to score some big act tickets in ticketmaster, and lost them to someone else because I got the damn Captcha wrong!!!!

The thing about Captcha is that only one word is actually a verification. The other word is them using you to decipher a photocopied word so they can offer book digitizing. I always figure out which word is the verification one, and then type in a horrible swear word for the othe. Yes I'm that childish. But that's what Captcha gets for trying to make me work for them for free

It's not childish at all; It's just stupid.

I thought there must have been a reason for the second actual word...thats pretty damn sneaky.

I like the idea of thing and I havent gone through the site but would be great if they had a more professional one. Maybe you just drag your mouse through a quick minimalist maze or something.

How do you go about figuring out which word it is?

They're not sneaky; they advertise it very proudly. And so they should. They took something that people were already doing, and made efficient use of the time. They don't do it so they can 'offer book digitizing', they do it so they can digitize books. All the Google Books searches you see, among many other uses, are done through methods like this.

What they want to do next is offer website translation services in exchange for learning another language for free. They will offer you free language classes, and then have you translate a block of text as part of your learning, and that translation will be used to offer websites in all languages.

Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days.
