It's not obvious what you're asking but the answer's probably "no".

That page features the output of reCAPTCHA and compares it against an unnamed standard OCR.

The standard OCR does poorly, but it's on tricky documents selected to show the benefits of reCAPTCHA. It doesn't say it's this OCR code, nor does that page really tell you anything about how good it is, if it was.

The other thing you might be saying is that you think the reCAPTCHA output isn't very impressive either. As well as the human element, reCAPTCHA claims to use several standard OCRs to process their document and combine the output is some way. It's possible that the Google code is one of those that they use, but if so it's only part of the process.
