Re: [WSG] Accesbility Help
It seems the best alternative might be to have the ability to call you or contact you in some way for verification for handicapped individuals. regards, kevin This is a mixed question, I have a contact form that I'm building. I want to add a human verifier to the forms but not a captcha one because they are far from accessible, I'm not that good at PHP though to figure it out, I already use the Mikes Green Beast form for general contact but this will be to process order request. I've trawled the internet but all I can find is captcha solutions, can any one point me in the right direction?

reCAPTCHA sounds good. I tried it out and the audio for vision impaired visitors worked fine. The service seems to be free and is set up to digitize old books that cannot be scanned, literally, one word at a time.

From the reCaptcha about page[1] To archive human knowledge and to make information more accessible to the world, multiple projects are currently digitizing physical books that were written before the computer age. The book pages are being photographically scanned, and then transformed into text using Optical Character Recognition (OCR). The transformation into text is useful because scanning a book produces images, which are difficult to store on small devices, expensive to download, and cannot be searched. The problem is that OCR is not perfect. I think there's a strong relationship between reCaptcha and this group - via standards and accessibility. :-) [1] http://recaptcha.net/learnmore.html -- Scott Elcomb http://www.psema4.com/ http://www.psema4.com/blog/ http://www.google.com/reader/shared/14892828400785741937 *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

Re: [WSG] Accesbility Help
Well I can vouch that reCAPTCHA doesn't work for hearing impaired or deaf folks. There have been times when I've been unable to decipher the warped text visually (and I'm not sight impaired) - and audio is no use at all. Contact form spam should never be the problem of the user. And there is no need for it to be. I've used Mike's contact form http://green-beast.com/gbcf-v3/ with success. Perhaps it may be possible to liaise with him about how to customise it for your own purposes?

Re: [WSG] Accesbility Help
If you want to avoid captchas, my recommendation would be to add a
question that would foil a robot. Just explain that this field is for
that specifically.
Something like:
fieldset
legendHuman Verification/legend
pThis section is used to thwart evil spam robots. Fill in the correct
answer./p
div
labelWhat color is the sky? (hint: blue)/label
input type=text name=human_verifier
/div
/fieldset
You're PHP would be:
?php
// check the answer
if ($_POST['human_verifier'] != 'blue')
{
// incorrect
echo 'Robot! Get out!');
}
else
{
// correct
echo 'Welcome, Human.';
}
?
This is obviously a very, very simple solution but it has worked on
reducing/removing form spam on a couple of my sites quite well while
being an accessible solution. I'm welcome to an contradictory thoughts
on this.

// correct
echo 'Welcome, Human.';

You can make that a little more foolproof by setting the case of the text
before matching, upper or lower it doesn't matter, but either way it'll
prevent answers like Blue, BLUE, bLuE, etc. from triggering the Robot! Get
out! error.

Re: [WSG] Accesbility Help
Hi,
just another vote for Mike's GB Contact Form - been using it successfully
for a while now and it works beautifully.
Had tried a lot of other options and form setup - this one is by far the
best, in my humble opinion anyway.
So - thank you, Mike ;)

You can make that a little more foolproof by setting the case of the text
before matching, upper or lower it doesn't matter, but either way it'll
prevent answers like Blue, BLUE, bLuE, etc. from triggering the Robot! Get
out! error.
Respectfully,

If you want to avoid captchas, my recommendation would be to add a
question that would foil a robot. Just explain that this field is for that
specifically.
Something like:
fieldset
legendHuman Verification/legend
pThis section is used to thwart evil spam robots. Fill in the correct
answer./p
div
labelWhat color is the sky? (hint: blue)/label
input type=text name=human_verifier
/div
/fieldset
You're PHP would be:
?php
// check the answer
if ($_POST['human_verifier'] != 'blue')
{
// incorrect
echo 'Robot! Get out!');
}
else
{
// correct
echo 'Welcome, Human.';
}
?
This is obviously a very, very simple solution but it has worked on
reducing/removing form spam on a couple of my sites quite well while being
an accessible solution. I'm welcome to an contradictory thoughts on this.

* Hi All, *
* This is a mixed question, I have a contact form that I'm building.
I want to add a human verifier to the forms but not a captcha one
because they are far from accessible, I'm not that good at PHP
though to figure it out, I already use the Mikes Green Beast form
for general contact but this will be to process order request. I've
trawled the internet but all I can find is captcha solutions, can
any one point me in the right direction? *

Re: [WSG] Accesbility Help
Hey, I saw a funny one once. A site had a really basic math problem. Like 4x2 or something. Type in the answer and you submitted the form. Because it's HTML it's accessible. IceKat.

The service seems to be free and is set up to digitize old books that cannot be scanned, literally, one word at a time. Pretty amazing! From the reCaptcha about page[1] To archive human knowledge and to make information more accessible to the world, multiple projects are currently digitizing physical books that were written before the computer age. The book pages are being photographically scanned, and then transformed into text using Optical Character Recognition (OCR). The transformation into text is useful because scanning a book produces images, which are difficult to store on small devices, expensive to download, and cannot be searched. The problem is that OCR is not perfect. I think there's a strong relationship between reCaptcha and this group - via standards and accessibility. :-) [1] http://recaptcha.net/learnmore.html *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
