Audio-Captcha

Overview

Audio-Captcha is a React component that provides an audio-based captcha to verify user interaction. Users must tap along with a rhythm played by the component to prove they are human. This solution is designed to be more engaging and effective against automated bots.

Features

• Plays a randomly generated rhythm pattern.
• Records user taps and validates them against the generated pattern.
• Provides visual feedback on verification success or failure.
• Easy to integrate into any React application.

Installation

To use the RhythmCaptcha component, ensure you have the following dependencies installed: bash npm install tone lucide-react zustand

Usage

Import the RhythmCaptcha component into your React application and include it in your JSX.

import React from 'react';
import RhythmCaptcha from './components/RhythmCaptcha';

function App() {
return (
    <div className="App">
        <h1>Audio Captcha Example</h1>
        <RhythmCaptcha />
    </div>
);
}       
export default App;

Props

The RhythmCaptcha component does not accept any props.

State Management

The component manages its own state internally using React's useState and useEffect hooks.

Internal State

• isPlaying: Boolean indicating if the rhythm is currently playing.
• taps: Array of user taps recorded during the interaction.
• pattern: Array of intervals representing the generated rhythm pattern.
• isVerifying: Boolean indicating if the verification process is ongoing.
• isPassed: Boolean or null indicating if the user passed the verification.

User Interaction

• Play Pattern: Users can click the "Play Pattern" button to hear the rhythm.
• Tap: Users can tap the designated area or press the spacebar to record their taps.
• Verify: After tapping, users can click the "Verify" button to check if their rhythm matches the generated pattern.

Feedback

The component provides visual feedback based on the verification result:

• Displays "Verification Successful" or "Verification Failed" based on user input.

Accessibility

Ensure that the component is accessible to all users, including those using assistive technologies. Consider adding ARIA roles and properties as needed.
