Hello. I do write a lot of scrapers, and from time to time I need to break CAPTCHA.

I need some software (for Linux) or service (with API) that takes image (or URL) on INPUT and returns CAPTCHA text. I can pass the input in any way GET/POST/API/argv and recive also in any way. It just needs to be reliable and not difficult to integrate.

Any suggestions?
 
DeathByCaptcha, Decaptcher or ShaniBPO seem to be the top contenders.

I'm not sure about the other two but I've used Decaptcher (and their API) myself before and it works relatively well - with the only issue being that their service is sometimes a bit unstable.

You definitely want to use a service, rather than some software, as unless the captchas you're solving are extremely simple, the success rate of an automated solution will be ridiculously low.
 
The services I use are:

de-captcher.com
deathbycaptcha.com
expertdecoders.com

All of them have easy API clients in most of the popular languages that you can plugin to your scripts, otherwise they also allow POST uploads.

In the past de-captcher has had overloading issues and also deathbycaptcha has had issues with their accuracy. But both services seem to have gotten on top of their problems.
