This is an oft-answered question, and the answer is that the screen reader
designers have no control over this, nor can they do anything about it. No
information is extractable, since the graphic in question has been
specifically designed to thwart optical character recognition. Unless all
screen readers are suddenly equipped with OCR technology that is
specifically designed to thwart such OCR-thwarting techniques, there's
nothing that FS, GW-Micro, Dolphin, or any other screen reader
manufacturers can do.

Okay, seeing as graphical passwords, varification words, security codes, or what have you are becoming the norm, I do have to ask this one question. Is it possible for JFW to extract the necessary information to form the security codes and such? Or, at the verry least, do they know when they'll be able to? People seem unwilling to provide alternative means of accessing that information, so apparently it's up to us to adapt ourselves to them... again.
