If an open source OCR could be modified to do this, then it would be easy to inject data retreieved from captchas back into OCR-ed text. And it could be used for so much more :)
I know (but I am not proficient in their use) at least two open source OCR softwares: * OCRopus[1a][1b], by the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence, sponsored by Google * Tesseract[2a][2b], started by HP in far 1995, now Google-sponsored (yeah, this one too!) [note: as far as I know OCRopus used tesserect as an engine for OCR] * GOCR/JOCR
I think much can be done.
