I was just gonna say, y'know some sites like PayPal have decided to
implement audio captcha for visually impaired users, so my thought was
-- okay, guy gets the notion that maybe an audio captcha is just better
as an alternative to the visual captcha and forgets that there are also
deaf users who would be unable to use that one. So for any system that
uses captcha to work across the board, it's got to cover both visually
and hearing impaired, not to mention for example, just being color blind
which is much more common, particularly amongst men, could cause
problems with captchas that work for people who are hearing impaired.
