In fact, I can guarantee they're not solving CAPTCHAs for hire. Our review process for new software applications keeps the quality of our tasks high and keeps spam work out.

CAPTCHA-breaking jobs generally rely on sweatshop labor and don't pay the fair wages we do, so they're not even capable of hiring our workers.

One of our core motivations as a team and a company is to use crowdsourcing as a force for good: happy workers, better technology, no spam. If you're interested in cracking CAPTCHAs, we'll be happy to refer you to our better known, difficult-to-use competitor.

Handwritten and printed OCR tasks, on the other hand, are fantastic for our system.
