Table of contents
In the Collect symbols area on the side there is a table with information about how many symbols are available in total and how many of them have already been collected. On the other hand, you will see a table with captchas.
Select any character by highlighting the line where it is written in the character table. The captchas in the captcha table are sorted so that in the first captchas shown to you, the desired character will be encountered most often.
Indicate the centers of symbols on captchas until you have collected a sufficient number of variants of the desired symbol. The captcha table is multi-page, move between the pages using the arrows at the bottom of the table.
Click Add Selected to add all collected symbols to the collection. Before adding you will be shown all the added characters, check that there is no garbage or other characters. Found trash can be selected and removed.
Follow steps 1-3 for each character.
It is best to collect variants of each symbol in small portions, repeating steps 2-3 several times. Thus, in case of an accidental power outage of the computer or other force majeure situations, you will not lose a lot of the work done.
Symbols can be collected at any time.
How many variants of each symbol to collect
The more distortions the symbols have, the more variants of each symbol must be collected.
From 5 pieces for stencil captchas, till 200 for the most complex captchas, such as KCaptcha, ReCaptcha, etc.
Don't rush to collect thousands of options! First, try to collect a little, maybe this is enough, if not, then you can always collect more. Try to collect approximately the same number of variants of each symbol.
Note!
Collected but not added symbols are marked with a colored dot. Characters already added are marked with a dot of a different color. The colors of the dots can be changed for convenience.
The display of captchas can be scaled for more convenient collection of symbols. This does not affect the result of collecting symbols. The captcha table is multi-page.
Removing collected and added symbols
Sometimes the collected symbols need to be deleted if suddenly something went wrong, and you have collected the wrong symbols and have already added them to the collection.
Go to the Filters section, there select the display of symbols, not captchas, and in the drop-down list select the symbol whose representatives you want to remove.
Select the necessary pictures with the left mouse button while holding CTRL and call the menu with the right mouse button. Select Remove.
