Holy crap been busy tonight. Anyway, does anyone have a good way to grab captchas? Doing on demand HITs so if you get a captcha and click on the alert in Panda sometimes the HIT is already gone along with the captcha. Really screwing me up because I can miss a lot of HITs before I get one fast enough.

I don't understand your problem here. Can you rephrase or walk me through it better? PC will sound an alarm when you hit a captcha and have a panda running. Other than that, captchas will make you miss hits because by the time you enter it in, someone has already taken the HIT. That's just how it happens, unfortunately. There's not much you can do to change it.

 

The issue is that the HIT can be gone before you click the captcha, so the captcha is gone also. So then you click the next one and the they are both gone again. It can take a few minutes at times to actually catch one.

 

I solve this by accepting a quickie HIT like A9 Data Validation, to get rid of the Captcha then run PC again.

 

you guys can also use this

https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/35924-captcha-clear/code

you just press the - key on your keyboard when you have a captcha (you have to be in an mturk tab) and it'll pop open a HIT and a place for you to enter the captcha.

 

Awesome, thats the sort of thing I was looking for.

 

oh. I have that. lol. I forgot I had it. I am so used to seeing that window pop up in PC that over time I assumed it was just an integrated feature! lol

 

but like @urtho9 said, sometimes there's no HIT to accept. This works best when you have a batch on PANDA

 

The next thing I am working on definitely is not as easy, I might have to write some code

 

I did 440 Picolangs, I've seen a lot of captchas today.

 

yeah it's imperfect because it just defaults to the crowdsource GID. those are usually up, but sometimes they're not. It'll still save you a lot of time in most cases though. those rare times where those aren't up will be problematic but not much you can do at that point besides change the GID in the script to something that is up.
