Hello,
 
reCAPTCHA fallback since yesterday morning always gives me "try again" on valid input!
 
 
Can you help me please?
 
Thanks.

We are also not getting Images, we are getting text captcha which are very difficult to read.

Although I can appreciate improving captcha challenges.   I have to say i am finding them very challenging and causing me to leave  rather than participate.  Honestly, how the heck is anyone supposed to realistically read these things now?  They are always more challenging but there has to be a way to make it more human friendly as well.

The one in the image is hard, the ones I've been getting are impossible.
E.g. rnmmrnrnmrnm mmrnrnmm  - except it is fuzzy, and the xor blobs are exactly at the point where rn can be distinguished from m - similar with the other letters.  It isn't a word, so there is no chance of recognizing that.  I can't do even one in 100.  And the audio version sounds like someone gargling in an echo chamber.  tuhtuhtuhwyevyesihseh.
Every site I contact them (if I can) and tell them if it isn't fixed, I won't be back.
They should force every google employee up to the C*Os to solve one of each of those when they login each morning.  They wouldn't get anything done until noon.
Or add it to logging in to anything google daily.  No one would use any of the services including the free ones because they couldn't get to them.
Or just say "We've stopped allowing anything instead of wasting your time with impossible captchas that only a savant might be able to solve".

Honestly,  what the heck are they trying to do with making them this difficult? Its not even this difficult to get into my bank account.  I mean they aren't guarding Fort Knox or anything.  Those captcha designers must be very bored. :)

You need a valid NID cookie and google login to read easy captchas.

for some reason I cannot type in the correct word on this fallback recaptcha.  Even if my answer is 100% right, its wrong.

@Fabio, actually you are correct. Valid NID value generated randomly by Google will allow us to solve CAPTCHA in text mode.
But frankly not everyone allow cookies (especially if its from Google) on their browser. How do ppl like me solve it ? I do not allow cookies from google.

It was working all this while. Just last couple of weeks, it has stopped working.

In all my research you require a NID 67= Cookie to get the easier captchas.  The White captcha versus the black blobs.  There are some machines where there's valid NID Cookies or you have a super cookie that's been working for a while.  The NID Cookies from my understanding are used for the purpose of gearing the right AD's based on your search results.  Also the NID Cookies are used for users that do not have google accounts (Anonymous Users).  NID Cookies that have the white style easy captchas are very hard to come across.  The other types of cookies that present this "Easier captchas" that are required are HSID and SID.  These two cookies are generated based on Google accounts.  Such as when you login to gmail with valid credentials, you end up with these two cookies amongst about 11 others.  The HSID and the SID are the only two you need to get the easier captchas.  In all my findings you either need a super cookie, a valid NID 67= cookie or HSID/SID Combination.  One of the three are required. 

It seems the way google tells if a person is a bot or not is by using activity (History).  If your cookies show you search like a normal human being then it will present you easier captchas versus if your running incognito all the time and they have no way to validate you.

Was there a way you were able to solve without these cookies ? I tried copying these cookies from one system to another, it worked only for first time in the new machine. Once solved, these cookies becomes invalid I presume.

No unfortunately not.  The google account cookie lasts for about 20 submissions back to back.  If you don't hit it too hard it will keep working.  You can create many of these cookies from the HSID and SID.  You can transfer this to other machines too.

So, this is like a war with google, and google is winning this time for sure, old recaptcha were too easy for ocr, i am looking for good solution and pay good for any solution out there, i tried fallback ( which needs 100% virgin proxy) then tried browser method for recaptcha, that works at times, but again i dont have a consistent solution, any help would work.
