[nfbcs] Captcha

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Tracy and everyone,

Yup. God help any deaf-blind person who wants to access their medical 
records as they'll be locked out. They need to roll up their sleeves and 
find a non-captcha solution so all patients can have access to this part of 
their Web site. There are captcha alternatives out there. They need to find 
the one that will work best with their Web site framework and development 
language. If the site is using ColdFusion they should check out 
CFFormProtect. This spam bot blocker takes the end user entirely out of the 
checking process. It does all of its work in the background and will resolve 
any accessibility issues disabled visitors may face when using this Web 
site. I'm using it on several of my Web sites and thus far have not had 
complaints about sites being spammed or individuals with particular 
disabilities such as hearing impairments being shut out.

The hospital I work for is creating a system where patients can see their
medical records online, and I volunteered to advise them on accessibility,
so far as I can.  The system is using a captcha during registration.  It
has an audio version, but it's very hard to understand.  It took me 4
tries to solve it, although it might have been easier if I'd had
headphones on.
Is that usual for audio captchas?  Can anyone give a site where captchas
are particularly well-handled?
Thanks.
Tracy
