Hi Richard,

 

As per Text Captcha’s website they aren’t quite a secure, here is what they say:

 

Do text Captchas actually work?

Yes, and No.

A text CAPTCHA is more accessible to visually impaired users than their 
image-based alternatives like ReCAPTCHA <https://www.google.com/recaptcha> . 
Using text is also more flexible if for example you need to present the 
challenge over a text-only channel like SMS or IRC.

The problem with text captchas is that they provide inherently more information 
than a distorted image. They are parseable, under the right conditions 
solveable. With the advent of contextual parsing tools such as Wolfram Alpha, 
such simple logic puzzles have become easier to solve programatically.

 

Regards,

Sieghard

I do not know of a captcha breaker, but I think whenever anyone finds a web 
site using an inaccessible captcha, you should email their support or webmaster 
and ask them to switch to a textual captcha from www.textcaptcha.com 
<http://www.textcaptcha.com> 

 

Their captcha's are just as secure as those idiotic image based ones and any 
human can solve them.

Does anyone know of a capcha breaker/reader? I am trying to get to Amazon 
kindle books. I have the app, but I cannot buy kindle books from the app. When 
I asked for kindle books on the site I was asked to log in. So I did. It asked 
for my password and email again and then there was a capcha. After this it 
asked if I was having trouble or if visually impaired. I tapped the email 
customer service and was set back to log-in. Vicious circle, and it will not 
let me even speak or write to someone. This capcha stuff is beginning to just 
make me very, very angry! I even asked for a password switch so if I didn't 
remember it correctly I could change it altogether. Help! I am grinding my 
teeth, and you know how bad
grinding your teeth can be! (haha!)
