--- Comment #10 from Amgine <amgine.sae...@gmail.com> --- Very brief, as I am heading to sleep; I will answer more completely tomorrow: (In reply to Aalekh Nigam from comment #8) > 4) > >As a reminder, we've talked a lot about non-text captchas above, but the > >text >captcha solutions can be still considered: > >* wikicaptcha with Wikisource OCR (bug 32695) could do as well as reCAPTCHA > >>which according to Burzstein et al. was broken but still 24 times less than > >>Wikimedia's (fancy)captcha; > >* "just" making a few hundreds language-specific dictionaries and improving > >the >text images generation to be more similar to Google's (as per same > >Burzstein et >al.) would improve fancycaptcha dramatically and solve bug > >5309 for Wikimedia >at least. > > Earlier did analyzed the project from the text captcha point of view, but > found following Cons with it: > > *)It provides almost the same solution as ReCaptcha which is currently 24% > times easily breakable.

Keep in mind that tools to solve text-based captcha are focused on solving ReCaptcha; other distortion models are as easily solved in theory but in practice are not. <wave @ EmuFarmers> -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
