[blindlaw] LSAC Reader Settlement

Mon Mar 16 19:53:24 UTC 2009

Hi Angie,
I haven't had any luck with phones either and I usually wear them on the
computer regardless of what I am doing. I have not encountered the rolling
mouse dilemma.
Take care,
John

Hi John,

Have you tried listening to those audio captchas with headphones? I usually
listen to my computer with headphones anyway, but I think it makes a real
difference in decoding those annoying audio captchas. 

The most inaccessible forms of verification I have encountered involve
several pictures, and a statement like, "Roll your mouse over all the images
that are images of cats."

Angie
