[Nfb-web] CAPTCHA & Twitter?

[Everett Gavel]

Hi All,

In subscribing-to and signing-up for various things on 
the Internet over the years, I usually struggle a bit 
using Zoomtext and/or the audio option when there is 
one, with Captcha, and am able to subscribe.  Been 
suffering through this "strictly visual" Captcha BS for 
years, but getting it done.

But now there's Twitter.

I've just tried for about the 6th time in a week, to 
subscribe to Twitter, and the damnable thing keeps 
acting like I'm not getting it right, though I'm pretty 
certain I have been.  I just don't get it.  The audio 
is not that hard to understand, and the graphics can 
usually be deciphered.  But every time with Twitter, 
every time -- and I've only been unsure of exactly what 
it might seem to be 2 out of the 6 times now -- it 
tells me to try again.

Anyone got any ways to get around this Captcha BS, 
without needing to bring in a person who is sighted?  I 
mean, I shouldn't HAVE to ask for help if I don't want 
to.  On top of it all, there doesn't even seem to be a 
link to e-mail Twitter or the Captcha 'service' and get 
help.

Seems slightly discriminatory to me, though more likely 
it's just the typical ignorance.

I use IE, not Firefox or other browsers.  I heard of 
one Captcha-workaround service that only works with 
Firefox browsers unfortunately.  Anyone got any other 
ideas?  Thanks in advance for any help.


Strive On!
