Hi all. Don't sure if this group is relevant -- recommend the right
one, please.

It looks like everybody now use image of digits (or word) in order to
distinguish between human and bot on the web. It looks like everybody
with programming skills can write a program to `read' the image --
there is absolutely no reason to make full OCR: just get samples of
each used character and make a program to find the best correlation
between the antibot image and saved samples.

Question : is it really so easy to break the scheme, or I am missing
something?
