Do you mean the concept of captchas in general, or visual captchas? I think
advocacy groups have steered clear of opposing captchas because they are, in
fact, a legitimate security mechanism to prevent a real threat. The question
is how they should be designed. This is problematic because I can't think of
a captcha that doesn't discriminate against somebody. The best ones are
probably the simple logic puzzles, but even those probably discriminate
against certain people with developmental disabilities. I guess the best we
can hope for is a captcha that discriminates against as few people as
possible, or, perhaps in the future, someone will invent a security
mechanism that makes them unnecessary.

I don't have the answer to that one, but I am curious if any advocacy group
has considered a cause of action because of these captias. I fail to see how
they don't offend all of the recent cases regarding website accessibility.
Cordially,
John

Hello everyone,

    So how can this new fangled audio captcha be accessed by the deaf-blind?

Good afternoon list members.
I would like to up-date you on Linkedin.  The log-in page has a different 
Captcha that works and is accessible.  Once you enter in your log-in 
information, a page comes up and says: "please enter the two words shown 
above."  The audio link comes up with a clear voice that says:  "Please 
enter the following words.  Do not worry if you have trouble, just enter 
your best Guess.  You will here a number IE 5, then a word such as Saturday,

then a number like 8 and then a word of less.  If you do not enter in the 
numbers, you can still move forward to the next page and access your 
account.
