Keep in mind that sighted assistance could be a neighbor. It would only
take a minute or so. Why pay someone?
Also, the problem causers are not captures. I think, although I could be
mistaken, that they are capshas. Captures are what you do on a chess board.

Hi Tom.
On the issue of firefox, well fair enough, however bare in mind that for
someone like myself who lives alone and is also ethical, sighted
assistance means physically paying someone as I do my research assistant,
which is why I describe it not as a viable option, particularly as lots of
organizations like the Rnib hear in the Uk do little to nothing about
access "because your carer can do it"
As regards google, their old audio captures system worked fine on a set of
good speakers or headphones I found, and indeed in discussing capture
access to several devs I recommended it as an accessible alternative.
However, that is no longer the case, and given that google do! tout this
as an accessible alternative something really does need to be done. It is
pretty obvious to me that when changing their audio captures, they never
actually had anyone test them without reference to the images, since I've
never actually managed to get them right, however given how hard google
are to get hold of I don't even know how to bring this to their attention
since the very captures that are the problem exist on their mail contact
form.
This is also a stark contrast to the way google used to be. i remember in
around 2005 needing to setup a google groups account, and they had no
alternative captures at all. I however simply phoned their technical
support line (their mail form also had a capture), and someone created me
an account with a password I later changed. I was quite impressed at that
level of access, sadly that doesn't seem the case anymore.
Beware the Grue!
Dark.
