A CAPTCHA that not only helps protect a site from bots or other scripts, but also helps read books. With a ReCAPTCHA one word is generated by the script and another word is a scanned word that an OCR program didn't understand. The idea is that if a user successfully understands one of the words that it's more than likely that the other word is also correct. The image shown on this page is an example of a ReCAPTCHA showing "were" and "tattoos" as words that need to be entered with no real way of knowing what one is the generated word and what one is the scanned word. On September 16, 2009, Google announced it was acquiring ReCAPTCHA.
