I assume you are able to see the screen! I just had another example of a CAPTCHA yesterday that had no audio on the computer, if I want to go someplace I generally do so from the computer first time, easier for me but I have Firefox, dislike it and have not been able to get Webvism to load into it, but then, I have not had a lot of time to mess with it and over the next months until mid-March probably won't have time, just found out my job has been outsourced and will be working on my options, stay and do only one report type, one I am not familiar with in a program I am not familiar with, move to a service that pays far less than I feel comfortable with, start on disability or retire which my person says is not optimal just now.
I approached a site that sells to Blind people a few months ago and discovered a CAPTCHA and decided they just did not want my business. I even tried using a couple of different apps to snap a picture of my screen and see if I could read the jumbo, not in time to type it in, maybe had I had a braille display hooked up, have a Refresh-A-Braille but it was not hooked up as for the most part the controls just don't work after having use a Focus 80 at work and a Braille Note, braille is great but navigation controls don't seem to be anywhere the right places for my use and I generally have so much going on that I don't have the time to play when I want to use it. Works just fine, but not for speed for me. Was thinking about a Focus 14, but now that this outsourcing is in my future hesitate to do it. I know it would be more compatible with how I generally work. My Brail note is an mPower so it is not going to work with the phone no matter what I do. I won't say much more than after HW moved operations to Canada and I have occasionally called and gotten messages in a language I don't understand, I don't want another product from them, thus I never upgraded my Braille note that works just fine for the most part. They really should do something about these things some of us will never see. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Friday, November 21, 2014 12:09 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: word only, subscription, and just explanation, thanks! Exactly, which is why I don't bother with the audio any longer. Especially, since most of them the audio quality is awful! I wish more would use things like "What color is an orange?" or What is five plus nine?" etc. I talked with a web designer who is big into security and he uses one of those kind and says they are just as secure as the hard to see/hear captia that most sites use.

Hi Richard, Keep in mind that audio catpchas are usually totally different from visual captchas. The visual captcha may be 6 or 7 letters or letters and numbers whereas an audio captcha might ask you to enter a number of words or letters or numbers. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Friday, November 21, 2014 10:19 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: word only, subscription, and just explanation, thanks! Well done. How could you tell which was the things to enter? When I tried it is seemed like an awful lot of words. When my wife looked at it there were about 6 or 7 letters to enter. I must have missed something obvious.

Actually, I was able to use the audio option when doing the CAPTCHA to know what to fill in on my iPhone 6. I was curious to how that would work and it looked accessible. If you have a hearing loss and/or have trouble distinguishing between syntheic speech voices, then you may have trouble. There was a softer syncthetic voice and then a louder one which read off the things you needed to enter. This was awesome to see; hopefully other companies will offer audio options within their apps when signing up for services.
