Util::YandexRecognize - Captcha recognition

Overview of the parser​

Used as a plug-in component in other parsers where it may be necessary to solve simple image-based captchas.

The peculiarity of this parser is that it uses Yandex Translate capabilities for solving. The solving accuracy is not high, but this is compensated by it being free and having a relatively higher speed.

Use cases​

  • Captcha recognition in parsers where solving captchas is optional or required to obtain results
  • Captcha recognition in custom JS parsers
  • Recognition of small text data from images (e.g., phone numbers)

Queries​

A link to the captcha must be specified as a query, for example:

http://a-parser.com/img/captcha.jpeg

Output results examples​

  • $answer - captcha answer
  • $error - if an error occurred, its description

Outputting recognized text​
