Explanation

A captcha is program used to verify that a human, rather than a computer, is entering data. Captchas are commonly seen at the end of online forms and ask the user to enter text from a distorted image. By requiring a captcha response, webmasters can prevent automated programs, or "bots," from filling out forms online.
