Ours is a java web application on struts2 framework. Currently for contact us form and download reports form we are using Recaptcha. We have to refresh the captcha at least 4-5 times to get the readable words. We are looking for some simple alternative to Recaptcha which prevents getting Spam requests. Guys can you suggest me a replacement for Recaptcha.

  • am Googling it, but wanted to know from guys who have already worked on other stuffs than Recaptcha. – Sangram Anand Jan 09 '12 at 04:51
  • I totally agree with you. Even stackoverflow is using that now if you use unavailable tags. There are other solutions available out there. I am looking for something that works and if I find one I will post back – AKKAweb Jan 11 '12 at 13:55

    BTW, you will most likely get bad reps for this post but I am sure you can afford it... I posted a similar question yesterday and already people are giving negative comments saying I am doing something wrong. The only thing I know is that I am not going to AGGRAVATE my visitors by using reCAPTCHA in my site – AKKAweb Jan 11 '12 at 14:03

Yes, another example of an alternate captcha is this: you can make a slide of images, and place one behind the slider. Then, let the human chose from the slider which image is behind the slider.

(I have seen it in a forum, but I don't remember the name of website where I have seen this type of captcha)

You can also make your forum like no one can copy paste anything there, means pasting is restricted there.

Images are far more easy to identify compared to garbled text. They are more difficult to break too. You could use image-identification CAPTCHAs such as these.
