[Electronics-talk] anti virus and on line protection software

[Gerald Levy]

 Solona is a new service that relies on live human operators to solve image 
captias.  When you encounter a web page that contains an image captia, you 
create an image file of the page and submit it to Solona.  a live, sighted 
operator, standing by, decodes the captia,and returns the result to you in 
text format that can be read by your screen reader.  You can then copy and 
paste the result into the appropriate edit field.  Because Solona requires 
no software installation, it works with all screen readers and web browsers, 
including Internet Explorer.  I have tried Solona a few times, and it works 
pretty well.
