[nfbcs] Accessible CAPTCHA

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Ryan and everyone,

    Is the site being developed using Adobe's ColdFusion. There is a utility 
called CFForm Protect that does all spam control in the background and 
requires no user interaction. Learn more at:
http://cfformprotect.riaforge.org/

    The Towson system still cuts out the Deaf-blind as it uses audio. 
Perhaps your company is crying wolf. I wouldn't include any spam control 
utilities on your forms unless it truly became a problem. It has happened 
where developers told clients they needed to use captchas of some kind on 
their Web sites only to discover they were unnecessary in the first place. 
Why burdon visitors with this junk when it really isn't needed. Whatever 
system you use don't shut anyone out!!

Hello,



My company is working on a feedback page for a new client website, and we
will most likely need to use something CAPTCHA-esque to avoid it being
overwhelmed with spam.  I did a little research and found an article in the
January 2009 Braille Monitor reviewing an address given at our 2008 National
Convention from Dr. Jonathan Lazar from Towson University concerning
something called HIPPUU, which, in testing, was significantly more
accessible and effective than standard and audio CAPTCHA's, for both blind
and sighted.  Has this technology come to fruition, and if so, where can I
find it to present to my managers?



Thanks,

Ryan Stevens
