Very true, that's why from a 508 or WAI perspective Captchas cannot be made 
accessible. One alternative would be to create a random number, say between 0 
and 9, then add 20 to it and store the result in a session variable. Then on 
your form page you have something like:

What is [random value from earlier] plus twenty: _______

Then on the page that's receiving the form submission check the submitted value 
of the above field with the value in the session scope. If they're the same 
then the chances are you're dealing with a person. Otherwise most likely spam.
