Plus: reCAPTCHA stopped to be equal - some of my pages are still serving "level2" while some of them are "killing" end users with a need to solve "level3". They're cluttered, written in some strange font, mostly in italics with a lot of black and white stains or drops on letters etc. But, what is most important, on this "level" words are nearly impossible to solve (on my old mobile devices with 3.5'' display I need 5-6 attempts to pass on!). And again, there are more and more situations, where solving both words is required. Now some of my sites remain at so called "level 2" (like above) and some of them started to serve two words again ("level 1"?). Now, I have noticed another change/regression. They're even easier to solve, but what is most important - it started to happen more and more often that user is obligated to solve both of them. They started to show combination of computer-generated long numbers string and something, that looks for me as street/house number photographed in Google StreetView. They were clearly readable (even those "second" ones, that could be ommitted) and with nearly no problem in solving them by a human.įor past few month, I noticed a significant change at all of my sites, that are using reCAPTCHA. Is there any way to control, what kind of image is displayed to user in reCAPTCHA or what kind of puzzle he/she is required to solve? I noticed at least two significant changes to what reCAPTCHA is serving (and I must admit, that I don't much like these changes):įor years reCAPTCHA was serving two words from scanned books and user was required to solve one of them.
