Google’s speech-to-text can be used to break its own reCAPTCHA
Google’s voice-to-text API can be used to bypass the audio version of its own CAPTCHA protections, according to technology researcher Nikolai Tschacher.
The researcher used an old trick with the latest version of reCAPTCHA and found that the method can be used to break the protection system with a 97% success rate.
Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart (CAPTCHA) is Google’s service that uses images, audio and text challenges to check whether a human is signing into an account.
Tschacher grabbed the mp3 file of the audio reCAPTCHA and submitted it to Google’s speech-to-text API to discover that Google returned the file with the correct answer in over 97% of all cases.
