There you will find a real human that will help you solve the CAPTCHA.
Personally I found using Mozilla firefox with Webvisum much easier to use.

Subject: [Nfb-web] CAPTCHA & Twitter?
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!
