I am inputting an image and on clicking a button it is printing the text on image,its working fine

The problem is arising when i am using a recaptcha image as input ie the image of recaptcha image,
it is throwing exception "OCR running Error"
I m using this code:

MODI.Document md = new MODI.Document();
                   md.Create(Convert.ToString(Image Name Goes here));
                   md.OCR(MODI.MiLANGUAGES.miLANG_ENGLISH, true, true);
                   MODI.Image image = (MODI.Image)md.Images[0];
                   Response.Write(image.Layout.Text.Trim());

Good.

Recaptcha is trying to do two things:
1) Prove that you are a human being, rather than a computer.
2) Convert images that failed to be processed by OCR into text.

So this brings us to a couple of things:
1) Your application would (if working) break the "human being" check, so captchas would be become even harder to work out.
2) What part of "failed to be processed by OCR" did you not understand?
