CaptchaFree is a Selenium WebDriver wrapper that automatically solves reCAPTCHA using a local version of OpenAI's Whisper model. This tool seamlessly integrates with any Selenium WebDriver instance, enabling you to automate web interactions without the hassle of reCAPTCHA interruptions.
ChromeFree uses OpenAI's Whisper model to solve reCAPTCHA by converting audio CAPTCHA challenges into text. The audio CAPTCHA is downloaded and transcribed locally using the Whisper model, which then provides the text input to bypass the CAPTCHA. This process runs continuously in the background, ensuring automated CAPTCHA solving for any site visited. For a visual demonstration, check out this video.
To install CaptchaFree, use pip:
pip install captcha_free
Here is an example of how to use CaptchaFree with a Selenium WebDriver:
from captcha_free import CaptchaFree
from selenium import webdriver
# Wrap any selenium webdriver in the CaptchaFree class
driver = CaptchaFree(webdriver.Chrome())
# Go to a website that uses reCAPTCHA
driver.get("https://patrickhlauke.github.io/recaptcha/")
# All existing Selenium Webdriver class methods work as expected
driver.close()
