You'll need access to a CAPTCHA breaking host then....there's actually servers that do nuttin but break CAPTCHA - I *think* the concept is a BOT network (prolly the STORM one or a piece of it) captures a bunch of these as unsuspecting users enter good ones, then the CAPTCHA breaking host has some algorithms that attempt to match up the image with those the BOT network has cataloged.
I notice a lot of these websites that use the CAPTCHA have a little button you can use to play and audio clip of what's in the image - does Google have such a thing?
