what do you call that process of verifying users by asking them to type in the characters displayed as images on their screens?

What if I wake up one day and *this* is my real life? |

@MixiN
You see, these tests aren't as easy as they look. 
Don't feel bad though, 'cos they say the computers cant pass the test either
