I suppose you solved your issue already as time has lapsed, but still will reply to your request so others can check on this. Capture the Captcha image and send it through Death by Captcha action in Process Studio to a service and they will reply in a few seconds the captured text. I believe humans are actually used as a prepaid service to read the image and respond accordingly. If in error, you can get your action refunded. ---

Exactly, we have been using the ready plugin from PS to do so. ---

Hello Fernando! Im testing a similar case as yours but when i use the web download image i get the following error: Web Download Image 2.0 - Invalid image type, supported types are: BMP,JPG,JPEG,PNG or SVG As the image is not a physical image but a url redirect to a site generating the captcha. How can you downloaded the image in order to process it by DBC plugin? Thank you! ---

We’ve “Web GUI” plugins in PS that have various steps. Using that you can download the image in required format and input it to DBC plugin. ---

You can use Web Actions to right click, robot handling to use keyboard commands to “Saves As” the image. From there you can send it to DBC. Just be aware that some captcha download a different imagem when you do this. ---

You can also capture the image directly from the screen using coordinates to copy that space. ---

you need to buy credits at the DeathbyCaptcha ([https://www.deathbycaptcha.com/](https://www.deathbycaptcha.com/)) web page in order to use this step. and from there you will get the credentials you need.
