CAPTCHA is a program that can tell whether
its user is a human or a computer. You've probably seen them
— colorful images with distorted
text at the bottom of Web registration forms. CAPTCHAs are used by
many websites to prevent abuse from "bots," or automated programs
usually written to generate spam.
No computer program can read distorted text as well as humans
can, so bots cannot navigate sites protected by CAPTCHAs.
