reCAPTCHA is a nice CAPTCHA implementation that uses (mostly) actual 
words for verification.  And it's a nice way to help with the digitizing 
of books as well.

It also has some accessibility features built in.  But, as with all 
CAPTCHAs, it can be circumvented in a manner as described here:

The math equation solution is subject to this "hack" as well.  I think 
the only way you can absolutely verify that there's a non-nefarious 
human on the other end is via biometrics, and I'm guessing that that 
won't be a feasible option.
