\n But, we figured it would be easier to just directly ask our users whether or not they are
\n robots—so, we did! We’ve begun rolling out a new API that radically simplifies the
\n reCAPTCHA experience. We’re calling it the “No CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA” and this is how it looks:\n<\/p>\n

\n On websites using this new API, a significant number of users will be able to securely and easily
\n verify they’re human without actually having to solve a CAPTCHA. Instead, with just a single
\n click, they’ll confirm they are not a robot.\n<\/p>\n
