[gui-talk] CAPTCHA is Frustrating; Solution Needed

[Rose Combs]

Maybe we should have a code to type in so that the audio becomes clearer,
NFB and ACB or Topaz, you get the idea, don't ask where topaz came from just
fell of my fingertips.  
Hmm, now I have to look up topaz because I have no clue what it is supposed
to represent other than one of the low-vision products.

Not to mention which, if you use a Mac, you are about as stuck as you can be
unless you install and run windows on your Mac.  Now, Firefox is very
minimally accessible with the Mac:  and, I have heard of cases where Mac
users have been able to use Webvisum to solve captchas with the Mac version
of Firefox:  however, they tend to report that it's very much a hit and miss
proposition at the moment and not ready for prime 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.
