Can anyone point me in the right direction here? I have found a few services that claim to work with imacros (beatcaptchas.com) and some random code snippets but I am not sure what the best way to go about it is. Most of the code I am finding seems to be outdated. I am using the free version with internet explorer.
 


OK, I am not dealing with a lot of captchas so I am using a pretty basic work around. I figured I'd post back in case anyone else is ever looking for this.

If you need a fully automated solution, beatcaptchas.com has imacros code you can incorporate right into your project. I didn't look up any reviews or anything so I don't know what the quality of the service over there is. It looks very easy to integrate though and they are a manual service so it might be decent.

Anyway, I am using a "prompt" instruction that creates a dialog box to manually enter the captcha.

PROMPT Enter<SP>the<SP>captcha: !VAR1

TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT......ATTR=ID:captchaV5Answer CONTENT={{!VAR1}}
Nothing fancy obviously but a nice simple solution if it works for you. Also if anyone has tried beatcaptchas.com I'd be interested in a review.

EDIT: Thanks for the reply DMNepc!
 
Yeah that is what I usually do, and I'll have a few browsers open doing the same tasks and they'll just pause when the prompt comes up and I notice the title bar window isn't changing urls anymore so I click it, enter captcha, starts running again.
 
As long as we have a bit of an iMacros chat going, I have had some issues creating accounts on some sites. I am using IE and I delete the entire browsing history but it seems to be getting cached somewhere anyway because they enter data from previous attempts. I am feeding a csv file for the input. Any ideas for this?
