tbom, the following code recognizes your sample captcha in TestComplete 11.31:

def test():
  captcha = Sys.Browser("iexplore").Page("http://community.smartbear.com/nwkab66374/attachments/nwkab66374/Getting_Started_with_TestComplete/22087/1/captcha.png").Image("captcha_png") 
  Log.Message(recognizeCaptcha(captcha))

  recognizer = OCR.CreateObject(captcha)
  options = recognizer.DefaultOptions
  options.GrayScaleBinarization = True
  return recognizer.GetText(options)
