Months after I initially brought up the idea, I'm finally writing a script for my Japanese CAPTCHA video guide. I was gonna wait until I had a draft done before making this thread, but screw it, I'm at work and I'm bored.
Anyways, once again, I'm gathering data on pitfalls that mess people up when they're getting used to the Hiragana CAPTCHAs. Here are the major ones that have been touched on:
★Characters that are the same except for a loop at the end:
め (Me) and ぬ (Nu)
わ (Wa) and ね (Ne)
ろ (ro) and る (ru)
★Characters that look different in print and in writing. (CAPTCHAs use "written" forms as far as I can tell.)
Attachment 3009(ki) vs き(ki)
Attachment 3010(sa) vs さ(sa)
★Other problem characters:
ら (ra), ち (ti), and ろ (ro)
わ (Wa) and れ (Re)
(Among others. Lots of characters look like a lowercase b with an extra strike added somewhere.)
★CAPTCHA has a 2-minute time limit before it will auto-fail you
Any other things that caused you to fail that you later figured out? (Or that you didn't; maybe I can help!) The more information I have, the more thorough the video guide can be.
Thanks in advance, people.
EDIT:
Thanks to Inazuma for pointing out that I had わ (wa) and れ (re) mixed up! I added them to the list of problem characters.
Thanks to Rehal for suggesting ろ (ro) and る (ru).
Thanks to AIDA for reminding me of the 2-minute time limit.
