Captchas are deliberately designed to illude OCR software otherwise no 
end of spammers or hackers would correctly guess the captchas and go 
about their malicious businesses.

Hi all
If I ask a question about an Ebay item, I sometimes get asked to solve a
CAPTCHA before I can send my question to the seller.
The fact that this doesn't always happen may make it harder to answer my
question.  However, if you have encountered this, have you managed to
resolve the "numbers in the image" with W-E's Virtual View?
With the Windows TIF filter installed, W-E says "no text found".  Has
anyone else made this work? If so how please..
