[blindlaw] LSAC Reader Settlement

[John]

Chuck,
And the garbled audio is exactly what defeats the purpose of the so called
alternative. Have many of you had any real success using the audio
alternatives. I know I certainly haven't and that is one of the big things I
would like to see addressed is some way to get screen readers to read those
captias.

many corporate sites that use a captcha or random code that you are 
referring to can provide an audio alternative. This is done on many major 
web sites such as Pay Pal EBay and MSN. this would address the problem as 
you can hear the code that appears on the screen. The problem with some of 
the audio alternatives is that the voices are intentionally garbled and 
spoken in different pitches and dialects which causes confusion. This is 
done to try to simulate the appearance of what is on the screen as it is 
apparently somewhat garbled in appearance.
