Is there a web service where one could purchase AI recognition of fuzzy text, e.g. a street sign or book cover in a photo?



Very helpful, thank you! I have a difficult OCR problem to solve, rather than identity. Interesting to see that the market price for "being human" is $0.00139.


For non-captcha OCR also consider Mechanical Turk. And there are a variety of services built on Turk too.


The fact that this works shows that distorted-text captchas are no longer effective.

From the Google's blog post:

> our research recently showed that today’s Artificial Intelligence technology can solve even the most difficult variant of distorted text at 99.8% accuracy
