I guess that Capcha captures something. Please enlighten me further.

Those two word "Tell me what this says" things, one word they know and
the other is a scanned word that the scanner could not positively
match so they are letting a number of people see the mis-scanned word
to come to consensus on what it says.

Thanks. That was clear as mud. Anyone who already knew what a captcha
was might possibly understand that. As they say, a picture is worth a
thousand words, even though a typical captcha only has two words:

I know what a Captcha is and have used them several times to register
for web sites. They are there, supposedly, to keep "bots" from signing
up. I haven't the faintest idea of what John is talking about, either.

I've been confronted with them too; just didn't know the term. Maybe
John had to decipher one in order to post?

If he's using Google Groups, the first few times you post they make
you decipher and enter a "captcha". Then after that you can just post
without going through that.

I saw a thing on a Nova or similar program where this computer guy was
talking about how they (he, his company, etc.) was taking words which
OCR in scanning texts could not correctly digitize and using them as
part of the CAPTCHA challenge. So when enough people said that the
CAPTCHA word was what they said it was, then that mis-scanned word was
then known. Kinda like free labor!
