Hi! The CAPTCHA is primarily introduced by web sites to key bots at bay. They address security and web traffic concerns but their inaccessibility pose challenges for users like us who cannot see images. Audio based and random, obvious questions in plain text form can prove helpful to us but web sites definitely need to be smarter enough to filter out bad/malicious requests using better aalternatives. For example:
1. ICICI Direct asks for PAN or date of birth along with User ID and Passwird on the login screen. HDFC Bank has a two-step login process where step 1 accepts only User ID and validates it. If correct then it takes the user to step 2 where user specified secure code and picture are displayed for user verification and accepts the password along with a confirmation whether the secure code and picture are correct. 3. LinkedIn asks for solving CAPTCHA only when a user enters incorrect credentials in the sign-in attempt (though this is good fir users entering correct credentials in the first attempt, it's not so good for others). The OTP on mobile is good but again a dependency on the phone being registered with the site and being available with the user. Webvisum on the Firefox browser is of great help in solving such CAPTCHA. I've successfully filed my IT returns on the e-filing site without requiring any sighted assistance. Note that pasting from the clipboard is not allowed in the CAPTCHA box on the e-filing web site. So you may either memorize it or paste it to Notepad and read it from there while signing in. A word of caution - Do not enter credentials before solving the CAPTCHA using WebVisum as it may submit your credentials to WebVisum which is insecure.
