    Have you excluded letters that look similar whether upper or lower case, and zeros, ones, i, l, o, etc? If you haven't, it's a guaranteed PITA.

    Nope, that for the advice. That would leave only a few Characters.

    ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
    ab defgh lmn qr t y

    Maybe include numbers.

        Yes these style captchas are rather on the excessive side.

          Thanks. I suggest you limit rotation to [-30,+30]. is the first letter a Z, a z, or an N? is it case-sensitive? I'd like captchas to be somewhat tolerant, say accepting one wrong or missing character. All to often it is impossible to get them right. :)

              They are a fun aside to the day to day grind of business programming. Unfortunately, modern character recognition is very good, slave labor is very cheap, and the baby boom generation has degenerating eye-sight and computer literacy issues.

              Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost
