[Njtechdiv] are there any alternatives to this.

[Mario Brusco]

the other option that I know of is Rumola which  offers Firefox, Chrome, 
and Safari extensions and works on a credit system, where you can spend 
a small amount of money (I think it is still 99 cents for about 150 
credits) to solve a number of CAPTCHA challenges. The Firefox add-on has 
not been updated since 2014.

If you want to check it out:

if you'd like to see Webvisum revived again, and I can't say it will 
happen, I'd urge you to email James Scholes at james at jamesscholes.com. 
the more emails, the better the chance something can be done, right?

. he is the one who originally digitally signed Web Visum and to make it 
official, followed by the A D O (forgot what it stands for( team at 
Mozilla.

I think he knows someone who was a developer of WV, and can therefore 
spread the request to his acquaintance. tell James that blind users need 
to be able to solve these visual CAPTCHAs because some websites still 
use, and haven't implemented a successful alternative method for blind, 
visually impaired and senior citizen users. and whatever else you want 
to add.

The problem originally was that Web Visum needed to be digitally signed. 
that was when Firefox reached version 43. now at version 53, the problem 
is that Firefox requires addons to use a web extension API instead of an 
addon based API. Web Visum needs to be retooled to comply with Firefox's 
requirements.

Hi list ken here.  yesterday on the blind bargains email I saw an item 
that said with firefox version 53 that the webvisum capcha solver maybe 
is gone for good.  sure enough firefox updated today and webvisum is 
disabled.  there were no clicks and no alert to the fact I am or was 
logged on to webvisum this means blind userfs of firefox can no longer 
solve capchas independently without an audio capcha.  my highschool 
reunion website rahway high dot com uses a capcha on it’s guestbook and 
if I wish to send a message to a classmate via the send this person a 
message option on the guestbook I can no longer do that.  I can only 
email someone who is on the emails listed on the alumni for each year. 
do any of you know a good alternative capcha solver?  there is a capcha 
be gone but you have to buy that and think it only works on chrome. 
thanks to mozilla for protecting everybody from those dangerous blind 
people.
