Every now and then I have to train models (mostly neural networks) that bypass captchas.

My company provides web automation in Brazil, not for spam, not for marketing purposes. Sometimes the client has a website (like an intranet) that she wants to automate through screen scraping. I know it sounds stupid, but that is pretty frequent.

The models are fast (most captchas solved under 100ms in AWS Lambda) and accurate (95 to 100%). I have about 40 different captchas being solved this way.

My team is still working on a solution to nocaptcha recaptcha. The problem for me is not solving the challenges, but submitting them like a human would do.

I'm progressing with chromium headless. As more and more sites add this captcha, I need to find a solution to automate it. And I'm confident I will find.
