I was wondering if there was an action, method or provided service within winautomation for captcha solving?

Thanks,

Emerson

Re: Unresolved - Action For Captcha Solving

There is no "direct" way to resolve captcha images within WinAutomation. Personally, I have created all the jobs that require captcha resolving through the macro recorder. The procedure is the following:

- Fill in the rest of the fields of the form using tabs and keystrokes
- Right click on the captcha image and save it locally
- Then you have 2 options:
a) If you have an account for a decaptching service (e.g. decaptcher.com), you can automatically submit the image there, retrieve the result and submit it in the form
b) If you do not have an account for a decaptching service, you can just launch the image with your favorite viewer and prompt the user of the script to enter the captcha with a "Display Input Dialog" action.
- After the content of the captcha is retrieved (either through a service or if the user directly entered it), the script will focus the window that contains the form, submit it and move to the next form submission.

I was thinking about making a very simple video demonstrating how someone can automate form filling and immediately thought about creating multiple gmail accounts. If you have any different suggestions for this sample video please let me know.

Re: Resolved - Action For Captcha Solving

Thank you; I could see how your suggestion could be applied. An example video showing this with a gmail signup form would be perfect. Looking forward to that.
