Comment on CAPTCHA Arbitrageparent

Comments

Interesting. I just read the PDF to see - they were sending captchas where the goal was to translate a series of written numbers in the native language into roman numerals. So (une)-(deux)-(trois) --> 1 2 3 along with instructions for solving the captcha in the related language.

As best I can tell, the klingon used wasn't even in a latin font. So the correct answers were essentially translating arbitrary symbols into their associated numbers. Certainly throws off what I was assuming from the blog read.

They do note that the service, ImageToText, was the most expensive by far.
