Dear Friends,

My users, some of whom use non-Latin alfabets, have no problem with using
Latin letters in the captcha.

My current problem with the captcha, shared by my users is that the
characters are often hard to recognize. Capital I vesus small l.  Or
capital I verus ].  Or m versus n. Or g versus q.  Often, the letters are
sufficiently deformed so as to be difficult not only to Robot, but also to
Robert and other humans to distinguish.  As a result, several captchas are
often needed till a person can get it.

Granted, it is a terrific tool for teaching folks how to have patience,
highly recommended. But sometimes, folks are under the time pressure to
enter the meeting (now, why do they try to connect only in the very last
minute, that's a separate question)...

Thank you.
Robert
