인도의 성장하는 캡차 해결 산업

Listen to article
필리핀과 인도 모두 글로벌 콜센터 및 BPO 산업에서 최상위 자리를 두고 치열하게 경쟁하고 있습니다. 그러나 인도는 더 혁신적이고 수요가 높은 아웃소싱 니즈를 앞세워 앞서가고 있는 것으로 보입니다. ZDNet은 인도의 CAPTCHA 해결 경제를 살펴보고 해당 산업에 대한 통찰을 공유합니다.

네, 24 시간 연중무휴 서비스 기업에 CATPCHAs 를 입력하러 일하러 오는 사람들이 있습니다. CAPTCHA 에 익숙하지 않은 분들을 위해 말씀드리자면, 이는 MySpace, GMail, Yahoo! Mail, YouTube, Facebook 과 같은 사이트에서 계정을 등록하거나 열거나, 일반 포럼, 메시지 게시판, 블로그 및 댓글 시스템에서도 계정을 완료하기 위해 풀어야 하는 비틀린 알파벳과 숫자가 포함된 이미지입니다.

BPO 업계에서는 가장 빠르고 효율적이며 저렴한 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 기업이 계약을 따냅니다.

인도에는 국제 고객의 CAPTCHA 해결 수요를 처리하는 중소규모 기업들이 있습니다. 각 근로자/직원은 시간당 최대 800개의 CAPTCHA를 해결할 수 있으며, 고객은 성공적으로 해결된 CAPTCHA 1,000개당 $1에서 $4 사이를 지불합니다.

그럼, 필리핀에서는 언제쯤 이런 것이 나올까요? *히히*

many scams of this OCR jobs exist on odesk. i was victimized. some indians would act like an “employer”, but the fact is they send you their own account so the unsuspecting “contractors” will do the job for them.

people make money out of spamming or out of fraud. breaking captchas is an engineering feat. i don’t think the point is breaking captchas.

why is it when there’s an engineering or software problem to be solved, why does it go to india? india has it’s own little silicon valley. there’s a lot of start ups in the silicon valley that are founded by indians. they’re way on top of their game. they’re willing to work better for less pay, and they reap the rewards.

where does this put pinoys in terms of IT and engineering? papahuli pa ba pinoy? i don’t think so, it’s just that we don’t put resources into technology. we do put resources into labor and health care for export. is it bad? are we losing an edge in the tech industry? maybe. but is it that important? maybe.

i have worked with people from india, bangladesh, ukraine, russia and they’re hardcore engineers. they wrote softwre books. saan na ang mga pinoy? baka nasa google. hehe.

Solving captcha is like helping people break in on a locked vault.

so, that’s the reason I’m getting spam comments on my blog despite having a CAPTCHA?!

I guess until this day it is still very difficult to design a computer system that automatically solves captcha. Image processing do require lots and lots of CPU power just to solve Captcha.

Forgive me if I assumed inccorectly, but isn’t solving CAPTCHAs basically for circumventing the anti-spamming measures of websites? That’s why websites have CAPTCHAs — it prevents automated submissions of possible bots that mine and spam e-mail addresses.

I, for one, can’t be excited if we drum up that kind of business here. We’d be associating our country with the ugly practice of spamming.

But I still could be wrong in my assumptions that that’s what the CAPTCHAs is for.

Read the talkback in the ZDNet article. There’s a discussion there about that.

Let the Indian BPO “industry” take 100% market share of this line of business, and let the Philippine BPO sector prosper by continuing to do legitimate and professional work. ‘CAPTCHA farming’ exists only to mine e-mail, IM, and other user data for illegitimate purposes. The Philippines should not get dragged into this type of business — a business that only feeds crime on the web.

This work can ruin your brain. But aren’t there a lot of out-of-work people who can type or spell here in the PI? Guess not.

I just can’t believe a job like this existed. Breaking CAPTCHAs? I still don’t understand what they really do and what is it for?
