Well as we all can see there is many ways to do it!
Maybe the best way is to offer more then one solution, I forgot about the
phone one but that is good if you have one!
FYI, the phone method doesn't need to be a CELL, can be a land line, I did a
land line with some Google stuff!

Greetings:

The visual and audio CAPTCHAs in use are not accessible to the blind.  I
suggest a different way to secure your site.  Creative minds can come up
with a solution, and there was one implemented that involved something to do
with texting to a cell phone, but even that is a problem for those blind
people who do not have accessible cell phones.

I am sorry not to have a ready made solution for you, but I strongly urge
avoiding the CAPTCHA altogether.

Cordially,

Curtis Chong

Good morning,

Can someone please point me in the right direction to find captcha that is
accessible to blind users? My office needs to make our online member
registration forms more secure, but we need to maintain accessibility and
our IT guys need some specific direction.

Thanks in advance!
