I think it's safe to say that blind AND deaf people surfing with braille devices are a very small minority, and very aware of the limitations of their system.
When you target this disabilities group, I guess you have to take the risk of spamming and NOT use CAPTCHA. Again, it comes down to the products/services you are selling. That said, an ever increasing problem that I have found is that spam bots are using email forms to spam other people; either by injecting CC: headers into the form fields - which you can obviously detect - or by simply abusing the form's "auto responder" - i.e, spamming your form with innocent users' email addresses in the hope that your auto responder will send them a copy of the email sent to you. I had a recent problem where "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" contacted me threatening to sue me because I sent him an email (auto responder) containing spam. I had to explain to him what happened and in the end, after it happened twice more, I had to go down the CAPTCHA route. It just depends on your situation. You can't please everyone! Not yet, anyway.
