Solona offers:

Captcha Solution Service:

  The Original human-driven system that provides solutions for inaccessible Captchas in real time.  Visit the Captcha Solution Service page to read more details about this service.

RAIVE

(Remotely Analyzing and Interpreting Visual Elements) allows users to submit inaccessible files along with a question to be answered. Once the “Package” is received, a human operator answers the question based on the image submitted. This is our newest service. We are very excited about this new tool! Visit the RAIVE page to learn more about it!

reCAPTCHA Training

This is a tool that allows people to practice solving reCaptcha Captchas in a game-like environment.  The reCaptcha Training tool allows people to become familiar with the audio alternative Captcha and be better prepared to successfully solve an audio Captcha the next time one is encountered.  Visit the reCAPTCHA Training Tool page to learn more.
