Online Captcha Services

Captcha services, the services that make generating random access codes difficult, are generally available as part of paid services for use on the Internet. Most commonly these captchas are used in conjunction with "hidden" areas on the Internet that serve to gather email addresses and other personal details. These "2captcha" type puzzles have caught the attention of millions of Internet users worldwide, and it is not unlikely that they will continue to do so in the future. If you would like to use one of these services to help increase your business online then keep reading.

There are two main styles of captchas that you will come across when looking for captcha services. These two styles are "one-step" and "two-step" techniques. The "one-step" style of puzzle is generally more popular, and the reason is simple: it is the easiest way to generate a captcha. It is also relatively easy to learn, and once you have learned how a "one-step" style works you will generally be able to implement it in a matter of seconds. It is also usually the most affordable way to go.

The second style of puzzle - the "two step" technique - is generally considered more challenging and therefore should be used only by people who are familiar with the Internet and, more importantly, who are able to solve a lot of puzzles quickly. Various different techniques can be used to generate a captcha code. Some of the most common ones include "NPV" (natural prime number) and "HSV" (Hexadecimal digit search). Each of these is relatively easy to learn, but they are not quite suitable for use with "two step" captchas because they require the user to use an advanced knowledge of the workings of the Internet in order to crack them.

In order to generate "one step" or "two steps" high quality captchas, you must employ the use of extremely advanced computer technologies. These techniques were originally developed as a response to the shortcomings of the traditional method of "brute force" cracking. Brute force cracking requires the user to send in a simple message asking for the solution. The problem with this method is that while it does indeed solve the problem, the computer, which is solving the problem, is also required to crack the secret code used to create the answer. Using such advanced technology as OCR can vastly improve the quality of the solved mystery.

The third type of service used for solving captchas - web scraping - solves a slightly different problem. Unlike traditional methods of web searching, the information required to be scraped from a web page is not directly visible. To solve this problem, a new class of tools known as "web spiders" or "robots" is employed. Web spiders or robots to access the data and scrape it in order to expose the hidden content. Now, the scraped information is no longer in the form of anti captcha, but it has already been exposed to the online community.

While the three earlier discussed methods of achieving guaranteed results are all completely automated, none of them is completely transparent. Even if a user sends in a simple message to the site requesting for help, there is no guarantee that he or she will receive a response. Some sites make their clients fill in a short demographic survey before sending in the required data. This ensures that the user has some incentive to fill in the missing pieces of the puzzle. In other cases, users who submit catches may be asked to verify their email addresses, an action that further increases the likelihood that users will provide accurate and helpful responses.

A final example of the use of a web scraping service to solve a captcha on an online forum requires the user to supply a large enough number of unique images. Many forum posters utilize a service called imagetyperz, which allows them to save an image as an image link. Other posters to post replies to an online thread may then use the link. These "bulk posting" strategies have proven successful in forums where multiple posters may need to contribute to a discussion. Many websites and webmasters have begun to make use of this strategy to ensure their websites are properly displayed in search results pages.
