Introduction
ReCaptcha is a CAPTCHA system owned by Google. Captchas are tools that are used to differentiate between real users and automated users, such as bots. Captchas provide challenges that are difficult for computers to perform but relatively easy for humans. For example, identifying stretched letters or numbers, or clicking in a specific area. A Captcha is a type of challenge-response test used in computing to determine whether the user is human. Captcha is used mostly for security reasons, Captchas also serve as a benchmark task for artificial intelligence technologies.
