How To Figure Out Chinese Captcha

A while back I had to submit a website of mine to Baidu (Chinese Search engine), since I didn't know any Chinese, let's say it was a bit of work trying to figure out how to beat Chinese Captcha. Ok so if you are in kinda of in this situation, this article will just show you what to do.

First of all you are going to need the Google Chrome browser (download from link if you don't have Chrome) since it has a translation feature that can translate any language that you want. You should find an image in your chrome search bar like this

 Click on that image and it will translate whatever language it is into English for you. Mind you this does not affect the Chinese Captcha, so you are going to have to manually input the Chinese characters. Linedict.com allows you to draw Chinese characters and gives you possible character suggestions.

To be able to clearly see the Chinese characters on the Captcha image I would suggest you zoom in with your browser. After getting your characters from Linedict, copy and paste it into the Captcha verification form and submit. There you have it if you need more resources on Chinese characters you can check out commonchinesecharacters.com.
