[Nfbmo] Reading Captcha Codes

[Gary Wunder]

Hello, Dennis. Recent versions of JAWS for Windows allow for a person to do
OCR, but the captcha is not meant to be solved by OCR. It is convoluted,
complicated, and constructed in such a way that a person really has to be
able to see it and use the power of the brain to discern what it is. There
was a site that one could use with Firefox to transmit an image and have
someone visually decrypt it. I thought I heard that it went away. I'm afraid
all of this leads to my recommendation that you wait until you next have a
human screen reader.

Subject: [Nfbmo] Reading Captcha Codes

I seem to recall a discussion on this list several months back regarding
reading Captcha codes using JAWS.  I believe it was stated there was a
program or Web site or something that would allow a JAWS user to read a
Captcha code.  However, I can't seem to find anything on that.  Am I
engaging in wishful thinking or is there a way to do this and if so what is
it?  The Captcha code in question has no audio challenge so that is not an
option.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Dennis
