Around 60 million Captchas are solved each day, which amounts to about 150,000 hours of work. By leveraging this work, reCaptcha is providing an excellent service to the Internet Archive. By entering your solution to the second word, you are assisting the Internet Archive in solving words their OCR software doesn’t understand.
