Hi Paul,I thought I'd interject an adendum to your explanation of a capcha.
Yes, one form of a capcha is a distorted text image that the user is expected to intrprat and then type into a text box. But there are two other forms of capchas: 1) numeric (text), 2) alpha-numeric. (text). Additionally, There are often, but not always, audio options of those permutations.
the problem I've run into with capchas is that most are so difficult to decifer that even the fully sighted have trouble with them. And the audio alternatives are rarely any better. Unless there's something I don't know, this is not necessary, but I suspect most web masters out there just don't understand the challenge this creates for the VIP and profoundly blind users.

Stupid, right? I know because I tried to help my friend creat an email account and he couldn't do it on his braillenote. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Malaina VanderWal" <malaina@xxxxxxxxx To: <braillenote@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date sent: Wed, 6 Feb 2013 22:56:06 -0500 Subject: [BNU] Re: twitter I don't think you can just create a twitter with your IPhone.
