How captcha helps to decipher old texts

Of course, the irony of this is that, in my experience, both captcha and Googlebooks are inaccessible, but it's still a cool project

My best/worst audio capthcha ever

I was attempting to create an account on a science fiction convention Web site and really felt I had hit the jackpot with the following audio captcha:

"screwy, and about as subtle as Sophie Tucker"

I felt one hundred percent certain I had heard and knew how to spell all the words.

I still failed to pass the human test.

Sometimes I think I am just a figment of LJ user alexx_kay's imagination.
