Type in the words you can see ..................

Does anyone else have great difficulty deciphering the "code" words on a webpage in order to enter competitions or submit information. Apparently this info is required to ensure we are a "human being" and not a computer system ..........but the words are so hard to read, I sometimes have my doubts !!!

[grasscarp]

no its not just you.

this gets me all the time...a right pain...I have to agree

Sometimes I click on the thingy that gives you a new one, as I can't work it out.

[HowardKennitby]

some of them are very hard to read. Quite a few sites give you a button to request a different one to account for this.

These are called CAPTCHA images: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAPTCHA

Some people do indeed have difficulty reading them. How do you get on with 'magic eye' images...?

[Ann]

On the site I was using just now I asked for 5 different ones, the letters were all joined together and very black, so frustrating. In the end I just guessed and it went through, so maybe if you type anything it will work!

I can do magic eye images Mark .......... I know some people can't.

[Arksided]

they are most annoying I have to agree, even when changed depending on the site. the same extreme knowledge of hieroglyphs is required.

[grasscarp]

I can do magic eye too. Have 2 books of them. You just have to relax your eyes and the picture springs out.

Some of them don't appear to be actual words either, just a random grouping of letters that look like they could be a word.

I nearly posted the very same thing a couple of days ago. I had to refresh the image about times till I could read both words - I can usually read one but the other is hazy and unreadable and often doesn't make sense.
