I had to call our local cable company for help with password recovery because of the captcha, and I suggested that to the person I was talking to, that he try to figure out an audio captcha by listening to it.

Heck, I'm not the least bit hearing impaired, and sometimes even I have trouble with those audio challenges. I don't understand why they have to put in all that background crap anyway. Yah, speech recognition is getting better, so eventually, I suppose someone would script the whole beat the audio captcha thing, but honestly, is it really necessary to have background noise, then have not only the words they want (often several when they only ask for two) then also have another voice saying things slight louder than the background, but slightly quieter than the one talking, also with intelligible words? I mean, seriously, how the heck am I supposed to tell which words are the real ones, and even assuming I can understand the silly things, (which sometimes I can't because they use some dead sounding voice) how am I to know which words they actually want us to type in. I tell you guys, the audio captcha thing has goteen out of hand. I think the next time I run across one of those that is so bad, I'm going to ask the site admin to tell me what the thing said, if they can't (or most likely won't) then I'll happily post everywhere I can find to avoid the site. (maybe it'll get slash dotted, that'll fix them.) :) I know, I know, not bloody likely, but hey, somebody has to try. <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> or at the public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/>.
