This component is a replacement for the default Registration component. The component uses reCAPTCHA (
http://www.recaptcha.net) to prevent automated abuse of your site and minimize bogus registration by using a CAPATCHA to ensure only humans perform certain actions. By using reCAPTCHA instead of other CAPTCHA implementations, you are helping to digitize books. Most other implementations of CAPTCHAs block visually impaired individuals, who cannot read images of distorted text. reCAPTCHA, on the other hand, has an audio test that allows blind people to freely navigate your site.
