Free captcha solving chrome extension (self.Blind)
submitted by WinterIsExaggerated
Hi!
I just wanted to announce that I'm now releasing a Chrome Extension for automatic captcha solving.
You can download the extension here: $1
I'm a sighted machine learning researcher that recently have caught an eye on the field of web accessibility.
Websites are primarily designed to be interacted with visually which is hard to do if you have a visual impairment. Here I think there's big potential for AI to help and look at the web page visually and then give correct and helpful information to the visually impaired or blind user.
I'm also the creator of the newly created but fairly popular NVDA add-on, "Image Describer", can be found at NVDA add-ons list, (if you're interested in trying out): $1
I'm looking towards doing much more than this, please contact me or reply to this thread if you want to get help with something accessibility wise or have any kind of feedback.

Interesting! Here's hoping chrome will let you keep releasing the extension. I know they came down hard on anti-captcha.com; not only is there extension no longer on the google extensions website, but you need to use a registry modification to get it to even install.

This add-on, while a wonderful idea, has some serious privacy/security issues.
When a page loads, the entire page is sent to the OP's servers. This isn't an issue until you consider things like banks. The entire webpage might include account balances and account numbers.
Extend this to any personal page, and my concern should be understandable.
The author does mention the above in his data collection statement. However, I feel it needs to be specifically highlighted here.
