This is irrelevant. Speech-to-text costs $0.006 per invocation (for [1] https://cloud.google.com/speech-to-text/pricing [2] https://2captcha.com/ , the first hit I found with the search [captcha solving serving price] Disclosure: I work for Google on security and cloud, but not on anything related to captchas or speech to text.
I would love to pay money (or do some sort of proof-of-work hashing) rather than solve Google's infuriating, privacy-hostile CAPTCHAs. I rather suspect that Google, as an advertising and consumer-surveillance firm, gets rather a lot of information out of the system.

> The recently released v3 is the worst of them all; it does away with the image challenges of v2 completely. The user never interacts with it directly, never has an opportunity to persuade v3 that they're a real human by answering any sort of questions. It's nothing more than a measure of how compliant you are with google's surveillance. I did a very quick experiment with reCAPTCHA v3: * using Firefox in private bro…
On Firefox, if disable 3rd party cookie, it never accepts my correct answer. I have to fight 5 minutes with google to prove that I am human. Same when I use vpn. Allow 3rd party, logged in to google account, no vpn and just one check. Edit: If try to use audio challenge in the first case, it directly tells me that I am using some method to solve captcha and they won't allow it. So much fun. Google is evil.

I was talking about reCAPTCHA v3, which doesn't present any challenges at all. It lets the site owner decide what to do based on the score.
I used to work at SoundHound and 3 years ago we had some weird illegitimate looking accounts using our Houndify platform.. turns out they were for breaking recaptcha. It was a bittersweet verification that our voice recognition was ahead of Googles but we had to put in protections against that sort of abuse so we weren't enabling spammers...

I think nothing appears if my score is above google's (because they decides my mark in the end) pass mark. If not recaptcha appears which is what happens to me and I go through the same process.
