One such obstacle is the ubiquitous Captcha, a visual test designed to verify a user’s humanity by asking them to identify distorted letters and numbers. Despite its effectiveness in blocking automated attacks, Captchas have become increasingly frustrating for legitimate users, who must now navigate a maze of moving images, wacky fonts, and befuddling math problems.
