    What part of "YOU CAN'T DO THAT" don't you understand? The text in those images is deliberatly wavy a filled with noise so that no OCR software can read it. You can't get the text in a CAPTCHA image because there's no technology out there that can read it! That's the whole point behind CAPTCHA!! It's a test to determine if a machine is trying to access a website or if its a human doing it. The machines will always fail this test because there's no way they can make out the text in the image.

      This article may help :- http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~mori/research/gimpy/[^] It probably won't help you break more advanced captchas though.

        As Dave and Nish have said, CAPTCHAs are explicitly designed to defeat OCR. It may not be totally impossible, you're going to have to do a good amount of research to try and process them. Noone has written a CCaptchaOcrConverter class that you can just copy/paste into your application.

          PS IF you don't even know all the right questions to ask, you're probably not the right person to be doing the actual research either.
