I am developing a website where users can sign up for a service. They
essentially can become a memeber. It will allow anyone to sign up, but
I need to make it so only humans can sign up. I need to avoid any
automatic scripts that could create tons of bogus accounts.

What I believe is the best solution for me is to have an image appear
as part of the form they fill out to get the account. In the image
will be scrambled text. The user must decipher the text in order to
create the account. That should take care of just about all bots.

The only way I can think to do this is to manually create a ton of
images to use for this. Does anyone know of a more simple way to do it?
