[Nfb-web] Accessible Captcha

Wed Nov 9 14:35:36 UTC 2011

Hello Mike and everyone,

    We don't subject anyone to CAPTCHAS of any kind and don't have a spam 
issue. The back-end solution we're using on Web sites on our VPS is very 
effective and should be explored as an alternative to CAPTCHAS.

I mentioned that I am using a drupal module to put a captcha on the
Nebraska site. The module name is "Captcha" and "Captcha Pack". With
these installed you are able to do several different types of
accessible captchas. The one I have chosen to use is a fill n the
blank. It gives you a word with one or two missing letters that you
have to supply. The word is given to you in straight text so your
screen reader can read it without any problem.  The only issue I have
run into so far is that it is a little different of an approach to
captchas therefore users are a bit confused at first having never seen
a captcha like that. It has done the trick for me and stopped all the
spam I was getting.
