There are ways to solve captchas somewhat reliably programatically. I suspect this plugin only works on certain computer generated captchas, not the street sign ones.
Very helpful, thank you! I have a difficult OCR problem to solve, rather than identity. Interesting to see that the market price for "being human" is $0.00139.
The fact that this works shows that distorted-text captchas are no longer effective.
From the Google's blog post:
> our research recently showed that today’s Artificial Intelligence technology can solve even the most difficult variant of distorted text at 99.8% accuracy
How do they do that? This sounds like whitehat use of blackhat tools. Are they using captcha-solving farms?
