[Blindtlk] ZCaptcha - The Captcha Reader

[Peter Donahue]

Hello everyone,

    Oh yes there are. Time-outs occur both on the Web and within software 
applications. One I know about for sure only gives you 60 seconds to enter 
the characters. Services such as Z Captcha would be very impractical in that 
situation. I have also encountered Web sites where that happens.

    Folowing on to Mike's post someone has yet to answer the question of how 
one gets their money back if they fail to decode the captcha or if the 
time-out period expires before the captcha characters are returned. Having 
answers to these questions would go a long way to determining whether this 
is a useful service or a scam! It still smells like rotten fish to me.

Hello,

To my knowledge, there is generally not a timeout with captchas. What I 
suggest when filling out a form is, before filling out anything, take a 
screenshot of the captcha image, send it to ZCaptcha, and only then begin to 
fill out the form. By the time you are done, the captcha code should have 
been extracted in most cases. You can e-mail your screenshot to ZCaptcha, so 
you don't even have to leave the page you are on.

The return time for captchas in most cases, especially during the day, is 
2-5 minutes, sometimes less and sometimes more depending on the difficulty 
of the captcha. If the captcha is difficult, it goes through additional 
iterations to ensure sufficient accuracy.

I hope this satisfactorily answers your question.

Regards,
Brandon
