Yes, you are exactly correct. Normally, you need sighted assistance to
solve image captchas, but services like Captcha Be Gone, Rumola and Webvisum
attempt to solve them for you without the need for sighted help. They work
very well most of the time, but once in a while, they may encounter a
captcha that they cannot solve. Because it is free, Webvisum is the most
popular of these captcha-solving services. But it only works with Firefox.
When using Firefox with Webvisum, and you encounter a web page that contains
an image captcha, you press the keystroke Alt-Control-numrow 6 to submit the
captcha to Webvisum for decoding. Using some kind of proprietary algorithm,
Webvisum solves the captcha and places the result on your clipboard, ready
to be pasted into the appropriate edit field. It is quick and convenient,
and works about 90 percent of the time. Captcha Be Gone and Rumola rely on
sighted human operators to solve image captchas, and so their success rate
tends to be higher.

Forgive my ignorance, but what, exactly, is captcha? Is it those annoying
symbols/words you have to input in order to verify the authenticity in a
mail message on a website? Most of them are not accessible, from my
experience.

One cheaper alternative to Captcha Be Gone is Rumola, a similar
captcha-solving service that only costs 99 cents a year for 100 credits and
works with both IE and Firefox. And of course, there is always Webvisum,
the free captcha-solving add-on that works with Firefox.

Kevin, are you sure they're more fortunate?
I don't intend to pay $33 a year for a service I'd rarely use, but people
who do honest work to provide something of value deserve to be compensated.
It's a question of how much and what the alternatives are.

I found it, it cost 3 bucks a month
33 bucks a year
I hate people who make money on people less fortunate!

Can you give us more info on this program and where to get it? Is it fully
accessible with recent versions of JAWS, say from 15 onward?

I, too, find cursor placement frustrating. Have you ried tabvbing
instead of arrowing?
The audio captcha is, well, audible but I find cursor placement a bit
frustrating. Practice makes perfect, I guess. I resist having my
kids read me the captcha!

Hi Kevin!
I have found that sometimes, JAWS will read the check box label
twice, one with the checkbox at the end, and the other sometimes with
and sometimes without the checkbox.
In the case where only one label has the checkbox, it's obvious which
one is the correct one to check, but when they both seem to have the
checkbox, it gets tricky.
What I've found that often helps, is to up arrow to the previous
input field or control, then tab back to the checkbox. Most of the
time tab will land you on the one that works.
Sometimes they use lists item for the various imput fileds, this is
OK for input fields, but for buttons and other controls it can create
a problem if both the list item and the control are selected, which
won't work, often attempts to activate the control are ignored
because they go to the list item instead. Tab will insure that only
the control is selected, which does work.

Cheers!
