On the whole internet, bots are crawling your site and especially forms. They submit them and leave you with a whole lot of submissions with fake data. We don't need that please! That's why reCAPTCHA is a good solution for this headache.
I hear you say, "reCAPTCHA"? Yes. But what is it?
reCAPTCHA is a free service that protects your website from spam and abuse. reCAPTCHA uses an advanced risk analysis engine and adaptive CAPTCHAs to keep automated software from engaging in abusive activities on your site. It does this while letting your valid users pass through with ease.
reCAPTCHA offers more than just spam protection. Every time our CAPTCHAs are solved, that human effort helps digitize text, annotate images, and build machine learning datasets. This in turn helps preserve books, improve maps, and solve hard AI problems.
And all that for free, from Google. Isn't that nice?
