What do you mean by "this will help a lot in improving OCR softwares as well"? --Wargo (talk) 23:30, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Wargo. You can use captcha data for machine learning. The original reCAPTCHA also directly digitized public-domain books, by asking the user to read and type one known word and one unknown word. Google bought it in 2009 and is now using it to generate proprietary data for training its driverless car software (to recognize other cars, street signs, roads, and so on).
