I’d like to add the CAPTCHA to a form on my site. I don’t use an EE form ({exp:comment:form}), just a standard form.
Is this possible or should I investigate other CAPTCHA options?

Where your form submits to would need some sort of validation on whether the captcha answer submitted matched the captcha text generated so the EE ones would not do you any good.
You should take a look at libraries like http://www.google.com/recaptcha/whyrecaptcha to integrate into your form.
That all said, if I have misunderstood please let me know, I’m assuming that you are using a standard form to post to somewhere other than your EE app and were wondering if you could use the output of EE’s Captcha tag.
