## What OhMyCaptcha is
OhMyCaptcha is a self-hostable captcha solving service with a YesCaptcha-style API for the task types implemented in this repository.
It is designed for users who want:
- a service they can run themselves
- compatibility with `createTask` / `getTaskResult` style workflows
- control over browser automation and model backends
- support for OpenAI-compatible multimodal providers, including local or self-hosted gateways
## Comparison with managed services such as YesCaptcha
Managed services such as YesCaptcha typically provide:
- a hosted platform
- a broad task catalog
- commercial SLAs and vendor-managed infrastructure
OhMyCaptcha instead focuses on:
- self-hosting
- transparent implementation
- prompt and browser customization
- backend flexibility for multimodal models
## Scope boundary
This repository should not be described as a full commercial-vendor replacement for every captcha family or task type.
A more accurate description is:
> a self-hostable service that provides a YesCaptcha-style API for the implemented task types and can be integrated into systems such as flow2api.
## Local and self-hosted model support
The project uses OpenAI-compatible APIs for multimodal recognition. This makes it possible to connect:
- hosted providers
- internal gateways
- self-hosted multimodal services
- local model-serving stacks that expose compatible semantics
The documentation intentionally keeps this phrasing generic. Compatibility depends on whether the backend supports image input and sufficiently consistent chat-completions behavior.
