Don't you think someone would have already monetized or implemented an OCR solution to solving captchas if such was possible, or practical? The point of captchas is to prevent a machine from posing as a human.

I took much time to write a program to manage my stock brokerage account e*trade, from the desktop per their suggestions about accessibility. After much work and during my first test instead of entering my id and password they popped up a captcha in addition so that puppy was put to sleep. I cant read them and 90 percent of the time cant pick out which letters and numbers from the garbled speech if there is even a speech option for the captcha. I was allot more annoyed since they told me creating my own UI interface using their API would be a good thing and, if no captcha, would indeed have been a good thing for blind users of e*trade. Other places around the net use them and I just don't make use of their services but that limits my ability to get things done in a prudant and, or, efficient manner. If there was an automated captcha handler, that would open up these situations for use by the blind who have trouble with captchas.

It would really make Window-Eyes stand out from its competition.
