Splits

Split	Samples
Train	450,000
Validation	25,000
Test	25,000
Total	500,000

Features

Feature	Type	Description
image	Image	CAPTCHA image
text	string	Ground-truth CAPTCHA text

Example

python

{
    "image": <PIL.Image>,
    "text": "n89nf"
}

Dataset Creation

The dataset consists of synthetically generated CAPTCHA images with corresponding text labels. Images contain distorted alphanumeric characters, noise patterns, background lines, and transformations commonly used in CAPTCHA systems.

Characteristics

—Fixed image size: 200×80 pixels
—Alphanumeric text
—Distortion and rotation effects
—Noise and interference lines
—Suitable for OCR and sequence recognition tasks

Usage

Load with Hugging Face Datasets

python

from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("AvinashRicky/CaptchaOCR-500K")

Example

python

sample = dataset["train"][0]

image = sample["image"]
text = sample["text"]

print(text)

Applications
