Hello everyone,
Provided the captcha service can interpret the captcha data. I've had
them both fail on me on several occasions.

I've never heard of these services. What do they do? I've been
doing those monstrosities of audio captchas forever, and wouldn't
mind a change.

I agree, something needs to be done about this. But if a
deaf-blind person can use a screen reader with a braille display,
then solona or WebVisum are just as useful, convenient or
inconvenient to use as they are to anyone else. Those audio
alternatives are sometimes useless, because it's very hard to
understand them. Most of the time I just use one of the captcha
solution services even if there is an audio captcha available.

Good morning everyone,
And if you're blind and deaf you really have a problem with
these
things. Much has been done to create audio alternatives but
nothing is being
done to make these CAPTCHAs make their information available
tactually. I've
said it before and will say it again. If we can build an
interface to allow
a blind person to drive a car independently we should be able to
create a
way for screen readers to read CAPTCHA information and reproduce
it both
audibly and tactually so those with severe hearing impairments
can have full
access to Web sites where these things are used. In light of
our work with
Virginia Tech the excuse that the technology to accomplish this
isn't there
doesn't wash with me. The same is also true of the blind driver
interface
but we're moving full speed ahead on that one. We should be
doing the same
with improving the usability of CAPTCHAS.

It is really annoying. The idea is that a computer cannot hack
it because
the print is not recognizable by OCR and the speech is to
unintelligible to
be recognized. It seems to work fine for sighted people; I
think that the
most tries that a sighted person ever had to do on it was 3, but
I couldn't
understand the speech if I listened to it 1000000 times. There
is discussion
about alternative methods of security, such as writing out a
question that
only has one answer but that a computer would not be able to
understand. For
example:
what is 1+1
and
what is one plus one
mean the same thing to a human and would result in
2
or two
but a computer probably has less of a chance of understanding
the writing
than it would understanding the math.

Captcha is a visual utility implemented for security - to tell
the
difference between a human & a computer. It is not accessible
by screen
readers, hence the assistance website.

What is CAPTA? Maybe the advocacy program for your state.
