Richard and all, I did not go through the sign-up process for the Microsoft account since I was short on time. I am thinking of doing so though since it is free to edit and create basic Word documents with the Word app. When I looked over the sign-up screen, the directions for the audio CAPTCHA said to enter the words in any order. I've certainly dealt with CAPTCHA's that were very difficult to hear under the best of circumstances, but this one seemed to be fairly easy for me to hear and distinguish the words I needed to enter. Too many sites say, "If you're blind, call our customer service number during business hours," so it was good to see the account creation process in the Word app take a more proactive approach.
