Hi Darrel

But you have a mighty big spoon my man, and you took the bull by the horns and at least made google open their eyes, (yes, bad pun I know), but without you sturring things up, I don't think we'd have accessible captchas this soon. It would've happened eventually, but thanks to yours, and everybody else's efforts we have what is needed to get ourselves a google, GMail and google groups account without sighted help.
Yay!

Hey Jeff and all,

Everyone inside and outside the blind community who supported this effort deserves the credit. I just stirred things up a little I guess.

Hey, I'm surprised this hasn't been posted yet, but
Google has done it! Now when you create a google account for Gmail, google
account or for google groups, the captcha also has an audio representation!I
gotta congratulate Darrel Shandrow and everybody for signing the google
accessibility petition.  I guess hard work really does pay off.
Yay!
