simon, Recaptcha is very forgiving with its audio captchas. Sometimes I'm given 1.5 words, so I enter just the one word and it works. Today I was given a clip from someone with a pretty strong accent and all I could make out from it is "transfers". So I entered "something something transfers", and it went through.
I'm pretty sure these can probably be defeated by modern transcription models, so I wonder how long we'll have such nice audio challenges.
