Wow, this is awesome. I always thought reCAPTCHA was just to stop bots. It's cool that it's being used to digitise books. Thanks for posting this

When you get good at it you will know what word recaptcha generates, ans what it tries to read. I always try to enter "correct word" and "profanity" into it...

Now that makes me feel a little better about those frikkin annoying things.

reCaptcha is genius.

EDIT: But this does explain why it refuses to accept a correct answer sometimes, that really pisses me off.

Explains why I can't get "through" those things. There are probably a ton of spam bots entering *** so now the system thinks the word says something else and tells me I'm wrong...
