CAPTCHA- Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart Most of you know what it is! it is the code that we see in most log in forms, to make sure that input is given by a man and not computers. I find it quiet annoying, it is found in almost all the sites when you sign up and sign in. it really annoys me because the code is not clear, i have to spend a lot of time figuring out whether it is 5 or S. or 6 or 5, 7 or 1. it confuses me a lot. some sites have a recorded version of it, which spells out the letters. Even that s not clear and the volume is too low. Agreed, that it helps to identify a man and a robot. but do you think it is a waste of time, strain to your eyes? Do you think the letters or numbers has to be readable? thanks for your responses!

I do find it annoying as well, but then again I understand why it is needed. If it's too easy to read, then a computer program could figure it out as well. BUT...there has to be a better way. It can be very tough on the eyes.
