Captcha bypassing with RPA

Hi,

I have a task with a requirement for a robot to be able to skip captchas.

I have installed Chrome extensions for the bot to skip captchas, but that extension does not work on some types of captchas, as it does not skip text captchas and requires that text to be typed correctly.

I have tried to follow the image recognition steps taking into account the calculator's number recognition practice (Tutorial: Use Image Recognition (RPA)), but it fails me as it is not able to recognize it.

Could someone help me or can you think of another alternative regarding bypassing captchas?

Thank you very much.

Not sure whether anyone here is interested in training you becoming a more successful spammer. Just kidding ;-)

You might be able to make a screenshot and have some external service identify the text.

    Hii [mention:240f04ca123943e98f2f6337f3b0881a:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] ,

    No i guess, the image recognition will only work upon the static images, Hence when we come on text extraction from the image i think it's out the Appian possibilities. if it's a normal text you can use the copy to clipboard service.

    Thanks!!

    The primary purpose of captcha is to prevent RPA and other automation tools from navigating websites freely. So bypassing a captcha using a bot is quite challenging to say the least. If you have/had any luck bypassing it do let us know too..!!

    Agree with [mention:7da09a91ebba452c82a6b899cb44d590:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] . AFAIK there is no way to directly bypass the captcha with RPA, but there are potential workarounds such as making the captcha sending the code to an email, then use Appian to grab that code and store it in a variable for RPA to paste in the web requesting the code.

    I would guess the most efficient way to do this, if a process is designed with RPA testing in mind, would be to build in heuristic ways for the RPA to invisibly identify itself to a process, and when that happens, have the process skip around Captcha prompts (when applicable).
