[gui-talk] CAPTCHA is Frustrating; Solution Needed

[Rose Combs]

Well, I don't use Firefox and this may seem odd because I love updating
things and trying new ones, but For some reason I don't trust Firefox
because it updates and changes so often.  Then too, if I need to solve a
CAPTCHA I want better than 90% solutions.  

I don't do social networking, partly because I don't really have the time to
spend most of it online and partly because you have to solve the puzzle,
have never been able to understand one audio had something from Google sent
to my cell phone once but by the time I figured it out the time was up and
so it did not work.  

Why is it so hard for people to be honest?

Currently, the only way to solve image captchas without sighted help is to 
use Firefox with the Webvisum add-on, which works about 90% of the time. 
Once you install Webvisum, you simply press Alt-Control-numrow 6 on the web 
page that contains the captcha, and it is submitted to Webvisum which then 
uses some kind of proprietary method to solve it and return the result a few

seconds later to your clipboard, ready to be pasted into the appropriate 
edit field.  Unfortunately, there is still no similar add-on for Internet 
Explorer, and none of the commercial screen reader companies have expressed 
interest in dealing with this issue because of legal and technical 
challenges.
