Its not automated and as far as i know does follow the TOS, here is the process that occurs:
User selects a document User presses a button to generate X number of random phrases with Y words each User can add additional phrases using a text box User presses a button to search for the phrases Search terms are sent to google Search results are returned as JSON objects My question is whether or not Google will return a response status other than 200 at any time, since when using Google manually i've in the past been asked to enter the word from an image to continue.
