+=SimpleCaptcha
+
+SimpleCaptcha is the simplest and a robust captcha plugin. Its implementation requires
+adding up a single line in views and in controllers/models.
+SimpleCaptcha is available to be used with Rails 3 or above and also it provides the
+backward compatibility with previous versions of Rails.
+
+==Features
+
+* Zero FileSystem usage(secret code moved to db-store and image storage removed).
+* Provides various image styles.
+* Provides three level of complexity of images.
+* Works absolutely fine in distributed environment(session and db based implementation works fine in distributed environment).
+* Implementation is as easy as just writing a single line in your view. "<%= show_simple_captcha %>" within the 'form' tags.
+* Flexible DOM and CSS handling(There is a separate view partial for rednering SimpleCaptcha DOM elements).
+* Automated removal of 1 hour old unmatched simple_captcha data.
+
+==Requirements
+
+* {Ruby}[http://ruby-lang.org/] >= 1.8.7
+* {Rails}[http://github.com/rails/rails] >= 3
+* ImageMagick should be installed on your machine to use this plugin.
+  visit http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php for more details.
+
+==Installation
+
+  gem "galetahub-simple_captcha", :require => "simple_captcha"
+
+or
+
+  gem 'galetahub-simple_captcha', :require => 'simple_captcha', :git => 'git://github.com/galetahub/simple-captcha.git'
+
+==Setup
+
+After installation, follow these simple steps to setup the plugin. The setup will depend
+on the version of rails your application is using.
+
+  rails generate simple_captcha
+
+  rake db:migrate
+
+==Usage
+
+===Controller Based
+
+Add the following line in the file "app/controllers/application.rb"
+
+  ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
+    include SimpleCaptcha::ControllerHelpers
+  end
+
+In the view file within the form tags add this code
+
+  <%= show_simple_captcha %>
+
+and in the controller's action authenticate it as
+
+  if simple_captcha_valid?
+    do this
+  else
+    do that
+  end
+
+===Model Based
+
+In the view file within the form tags write this code
+
+  <%= show_simple_captcha(:object=>"user") %>
+
+and in the model class add this code
+
+  class User < ActiveRecord::Basse
+    apply_simple_captcha
+  end
+
+====FormBuilder helper
+
+  <%= form_for @user do |form| -%>
+    ...
+    <%= form.simple_captcha :label => "Enter numbers.." %>
+    ...
+  <% end -%>
+
+====Validating with captcha
+NOTE: @user.valid? will still work as it should, it will not validate the captcha code.
+
+  @user.valid_with_captcha?
+
+====Saving with captcha
+NOTE: @user.save will still work as it should, it will not validate the captcha code.
+
+  @user.save_with_captcha
+
+===Formtastic integration
+SimpleCaptcha detects if your use Formtastic and appends "SimpleCaptcha::CustomFormBuilder".
+
+  <%= form.input :captcha, :as => :simple_captcha %>
+
+==Options & Examples
+===View Options
+
+* *label* - provides the custom text b/w the image and the text field, the default is "type the code from the image"
+
+* *object* - the name of the object of the model class, to implement the model based captcha.
+
+* *code_type* - return numeric only if set to 'numeric'
+
+===Global options
+
+* *image_style* - provides the specific image style for the captcha image.
+There are eight different styles available with the plugin as...
+  1) simply_blue
+  2) simply_red
+  3) simply_green
+  4) charcoal_grey
+  5) embosed_silver
+  6) all_black
+  7) distorted_black
+  8) almost_invisible
+Default style is 'simply_blue'.
+You can also specify 'random' to select the random image style.
+
+* *distortion* - handles the complexity of the image. The :distortion can be set to 'low', 'medium' or 'high'. Default is 'low'.
+
+Create "rails_root/config/initializers/simple_captcha.rb"
+
+  SimpleCaptcha.setup do |sc|
+    # default: 100x28
+    sc.image_size = '120x40'
+
+    # default: 5
+    sc.length = 6
+
+    # default: simply_blue
+    # possible values:
+    # 'embosed_silver',
+    # 'simply_red',
+    # 'simply_green',
+    # 'simply_blue',
+    # 'distorted_black',
+    # 'all_black',
+    # 'charcoal_grey',
+    # 'almost_invisible'
+    # 'random'
+    sc.image_style = 'simply_green'
+
+    # default: low
+    # possible values: 'low', 'medium', 'high', 'random'
+    sc.distortion = 'medium'
+  end
+
+You can add your own style:
+
+  SimpleCaptcha.setup do |sc|
+    sc.image_style = 'mycaptha'
+    sc.add_image_style('mycaptha', [
+        "-background '#F4F7F8'",
+        "-fill '#86818B'",
+        "-border 1",
+        "-bordercolor '#E0E2E3'"])
+  end
+
+You can provide the path where image_magick is installed as well:
+
+  SimpleCaptcha.setup do |sc|
+    sc.image_magick_path = '/usr/bin' # you can check this from console by running: which convert
+  end
+
+You can provide the path where should be stored tmp files.
+It's usefull when you dont have acces to /tmp (default directory)
+
+  SimpleCaptcha.setup do |sc|
+    sc.tmp_path = '/tmp' # or somewhere in project eg. Rails.root.join('tmp/simple_captcha').to_s, make shure directory exists
+  end
+
+
+===How to change the CSS for SimpleCaptcha DOM elements?
+You can change the CSS of the SimpleCaptcha DOM elements as per your need in this file.
+  /app/views/simple_captcha/_simple_captcha.erb
+
+===View's Examples
+====Controller Based Example
+
+  <%= show_simple_captcha %>
+
+  <%= show_simple_captcha(:label => "human authentication") %>
+
+====Model Based Example
+
+  <%= show_simple_captcha(:object => 'user', :label => "human authentication") %>
+
+====Model Options
+
+* *message* - provides the custom message on failure of captcha authentication the default is "Secret Code did not match with the Image"
+
+* *add_to_base* - if set to true, appends the error message to the base.
+
+=====Model's Example
+
+  class User < ActiveRecord::Base
+    apply_simple_captcha
+  end
+
+  class User < ActiveRecord::Base
+    apply_simple_captcha :message => "The secret Image and code were different", :add_to_base => true
+  end
+
+==I18n
+
+  simple_captcha:
+    message:
+      default: "Secret Code did not match with the Image"
+      user: "The secret Image and code were different"
+
+==Who's who?
+
+Enjoy the simplest captcha implementation.

+    #
+    # *show_simple_captcha* method will return the image, the label and the text box.

+    # <%= show_simple_captcha %>
+    #
+    # The available options to pass to this method are

+    # default label is "type the text from the image", it can be modified by passing :label as

+    # *Object*
+    #
+    # This option is needed to create a model based captcha.
+    # If this option is not provided, the captcha will be controller based and

+    # To make a model based captcha give this option as...
