So, What reCAPTCHA Do?
ReCAPTCHA is a form of CAPTCHA, which is a technology that differentiates between robots and human users. CAPTCHA is an acronym for “Completely Auto Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart”. CAPTCHA technology comes in 2009 and then later rebranded it as reCAPTCHA. They also made it easier for human users to easily pass the test.
