You'll notice that if the developers on those sites have done it right, there are various forms of noise in those images (lines in a grid, pseudo-random placement of pixels, etc.). The noise is there specifically to foul OCR software in order to stop people from doing preciely what you're trying to do. The problem with these methods is that they pretty much stop any blind user from using these web sites, but that's another issue. ---- : () { :|:& };: Note: All code is untested, unless otherwise stated
