    Free captcha validation tools?

    I've been experimenting with some captcha-generating algorithms and I'd like to be able to verify their effectiveness (but not really in the mood to develop my own OCR engine!). Anyone know of any free applications (or even online utilities) that can do this?
    Code:
    #include <cmath>
    #include <complex>
    bool euler_flip(bool value)
    {
        return std::pow
        (
            std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), 
            std::complex<float>(0, 1) 
            * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0)
            *(1 << (value + 2)))
        ).real() < 0;
    }

    Define "effectiveness".

    Effectiveness at resisting a bot?

    Effectiveness at actually working and looking like the letters are supposed to look?

    The only reason I could see that you would have to "design your own OCR engine" is if you wanted to break your captchas or at least attempt to.

    Right - basically, I just want to verify that the generated captcha is, in fact, sufficiently secure.
    Code:
    #include <cmath>
    #include <complex>
    bool euler_flip(bool value)
    {
        return std::pow
        (
            std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), 
            std::complex<float>(0, 1) 
            * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0)
            *(1 << (value + 2)))
        ).real() < 0;
    }
