Audio challenge for providing human response verification

Abstract

There is provided a system and method for audio challenges for providing human response verification. There is provided a method comprising receiving a request to verify whether a client is human controlled, generating, using a database, a challenge question and a corresponding answer set, selecting a plurality of images and an audio instruction corresponding to the challenge question, presenting the plurality of images and the audio instruction to the client, receiving a submission to the challenge question from the client, and responding to the request by verifying whether the submission is contained in the answer set to determine whether the client is human controlled. By utilizing easily understood elements such as common shapes and objects, familiar characters, colors, sizes, orientations, and sounds, even young children can solve the challenge question, whereas automated systems are deterred by the complex audio and image analysis required.
