Starting in version 3.24, Simple Survey now offers support for reCAPTCHA v3 to help indicate whether a human or bot/script/scanner created the survey response.

Upon enabling this setting, new survey record submissions will include a value in the new Human Confidence Score field. Values closer to 0 indicate low confidence of human activity, while values closer to 1 indicate high confidence of human activity.

While there are multiple approaches you can take for handling low confidence survey data, below are two examples for reference.

Option 1. Update your existing survey reports to exclude surveys where the Human Confidence Score is less than or equal to a specific value (Recommended)

You'll want to ensure that your report is NOT filtering out surveys where the Human Confidence Score field is blank, as these could have been submissions made prior to enabling the reCAPTCHA v3 service.

Creating a Report Filter 
 

2. Click Edit on the top-right of the report, and then select the Filters option on the edit page.
3. Click into Add Filter, and select the Human Confidence Score field.
4. Select greater or equal as the operator, and specify a threshold (such as 0.4) as the value.



5. Click into Add Filter, and select the Human Confidence Score field again.
6. Select not equal to as the operator, and leave the value blank. (This will help ensure surveys created prior to reCAPTCHA aren't filtered out of your results.





Note: For good measure, consider also adding the Human Confidence Score field as a column in your report.
