[nabs-l] blind gay list?

Wed Apr 17 01:30:24 UTC 2013

Kaiti, please ask Google to fix their audio captcha, because when I tried to set up a GMail account, the audio captcha wouldn't play.
If we can't trust them to make their Website blind-accessible, how can we trust them to help us drive?
Thanks, Joshua

Hi,

Yeah, the child voices do sound creepy, but they work better than any
audio captia I've come across so far.  The only thing I've found that
is absolutely easier is a captia that gave me a multistep math problem
using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.  There were
no parentheses, but you had to do three or four simple steps to get
the right answer.  You typed the answer into the box and you were in.
I believe that was on WikiHow, but I haven't been on that site in
years so I can't say if it's still around for us to play with.
And the thing that really impresses me about yahoo is that even for
people who are blind and visually impaired, there is this little link
past the captia box that says that people who have visual and hearing
impairments can contact yahoo for assistance to get their accounts set
up.  Although I'm more of a Google user for things, I have to give
Yahoo credit for that.
