[nfbcs] Captcha

[Nicole Torcolini at Home]

How about a box that says leave blank. Something trying to break in is more likely to fill it in.

In terms of the captcha, we know what we don't like, but we have few answers
as to how to get around it. Questions may be one alternative, but apparently
this is easy to program around. Some questions are easily answered with a
Google search which can be automated. I hate the problem, but hating it
doesn't help me much in figuring out how to solve it. I'm tempted to say
"turn them off," but this does nothing to solve the problem that causes them
to be turned on in the first place.

In this case, "they" is Microsoft.  They are willing to listen to
suggestions, but no one knows how much work they're actually willing to
do. On the other hand, if they do listen, it could be great for many more
people than just my hospital.

The only solution I've heard about that would work for deaf-blind people
is some kind of story problem.  I remember someone discussing that
here...John?

Nancy,
You mean they show a picture of a bird, and play a bird sound?  If you
said cardinal instead of bird, would it still work? Interesting.
