Generate Captcha Using Python

In this article, we are going to see how to generate a captcha using Python package captcha to generate our own CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart) in picture form. CAPTCHA is a form of challenge-response authentication security mechanism. CAPTCHA prevents automated systems from reading the distorted characters in the picture.

Installation:

pip install captcha

Generating image captcha: 

Here we are going to generate an image captcha:

Stepwise implementation:

Step 1: Import module and create an instance of ImageCaptcha().

image = ImageCaptcha(width = 280, height = 90)

Step 2: Create image object with image.generate(CAPTCHA_Text).

data = image.generate(captcha_text)  

Step 3: Save the image to a file image.write().

image.write(captcha_text, 'CAPTCHA.png')

Below is the full implementation:

Output:

Image CAPTCHA

Generating Audio captcha:

Here we are going to generate an audio captcha:

Stepwise implementation:

Step 1: Import module and create an instance of AudioCaptcha().

image = audioCaptcha(width = 280, height = 90)

Step 2: Create an audio object with audio.generate(CAPTCHA_Text).

data = audio.generate(captcha_text)  

Step 3: Save the image to file audio.write().

audio.write(captcha_text, audio_file)

Below is the full implementation:

Output:
