    help: how get captcha characters

    I am creating a vb application that will send a free sms to my mobile for the purpose of informing me the status of my server.

    but before I can do that, I need to input the captcha before submitting the message if using the webpage.

    so I need to extract the characters from the captcha so that I can input that on the textbox of the website and submit it if I need to do this automatically.


    Please help me how to extract the characters from the captcha. Thanks.

    RhinoBull, the way I read his post, I think he is asking how to get the charcters from the captcha, i.e. to create an OCR to read the characters in the captcha image.

    I am pretty sure is not allowed to circumvent the security (captcha) of the webpage.

    Ah... You are right...

    The point of captcha is to prevent bots from spamming web. For that reason I won't provide any further help.
