Title: For a time there were lots of number based captchas on ReCAPTCHA using sites - presumably for Google Maps - but now they all appear to be a random mixture of letters. I can not solve them.<p>They&#x27;re things like &quot;rnmnnihmr&quot; which is barely legible in plain text but when obfuscated - grunged, blurred and waved - I find it&#x27;s taking about 8 tries before I <i>guess</i> the answer correctly.<p>Reportedly there are bots getting 90% correct.<p>Mainly this is just a statement of frustration but in part it&#x27;s a question of &quot;doesn&#x27;t this mean we&#x27;ve largely solved OCR now?&quot;.<p>[I think the last time ReCAPTCHA was discussed was this - https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=6615326.]
