Are you stupid Luke!! How sophisticated do you think bots are!! The Audio captcha has the female voice describing the letters cases. This is as far as I know the only solution to captcha accessibility

Yes shure! Basic math! That should be great trouble for a computer bot to unravle the puzzle! Use your brain people!
BTW The voice on Audio CAPTCHA is scrambled because computer bot can use “voice recognition systems” to bypas the security option as well as with OCR “optical character recognition”.

I have a hard enough time hearing as it is, not sure I’d want an audio captcha that was difficult to hear. While I think different methods of verification are good to think about, usually the methods are a little frustrating to users and I believe there are easier ways to verify it is a human. Like asking basic math, or object identification based upon a photo.

Yes, good to see the willing, but sad to see a potentially inaccessible (requiring plugins) solution. I can’t even get QuickTime to work with Firefox under Linux.
The Captcha problem just won’t go away - unfortunately, neither will spammers. I have described a possible solution, although it could present problems for people with cognitive disabilities. ho, hum.
