Description Michael M. 2013-06-25 09:47:42 UTC
http://userscripts.org/scripts/review/96233 is a Greasemonkey script that does a simple spell check for FancyCaptcha. The word list might need an update, but the last time I tested the script it did help humans (especially non-English) to solve the captchas on WMF wikis. A javascript doesn't help bots, and even if the script might help bot programmers, not including something like this is just security by obscurity. The script exists, so let everyone using it, even without Greasmonkey.
