Rodan BURY <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keywords| |accessibility CC| |[email protected], | |[email protected] --- Comment #9 from Rodan BURY <[email protected]> 2010-10-23 13:20:04 UTC --- Captchas with visual verification are unsolvable problems for some groups of users on the internet. They often prevent the users (which also can be customers) from using online services or contact/comment forms. The Carnegie Mellon University provides a [http://recaptcha.net/plugins/mediawiki/ MediaWiki extension] for reCAPTCHA, which also includes an alternative audio CAPTCHA. Unfortunately, this solution can't be used for Wikipedia/MediaWiki at the moment. Why? Please see this [http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2008-April/037354.html post] on the Wikitech-l mailing list for example. Brion, the chief MediaWiki developer: "The only thing stopping us from having an audio captcha is that nobody's put the work into implementing it yet." [http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2008-April/037351.html wikitech-l/2008-April] It would be great if the reCAPTCHA developers or someone else could provide an additional extension just for an audio solution. This would make many blind and visually impaired users around the world very happy and could make them more independent of seeing help.
