Re: verification and jaws

Short of including OCR software in JAWS that is designed to thwart systems designed to thwart OCR, there's nothing FS can do.

Hi everybody. Does anyone know if Freedom Scientific has any plans to address 
the problem of verification graphics? Initially it was just Yahoo and msn that 
were using them, but since I've noticed more and more sites using the same 
thing. The text you've got to copy into the edit box is written in a graphic, 
which Jaws can't see, so without sighted help it's impossible to do. Granted, 
in some cases they provide an audio version, but I've always found it 
unintelligible. It would be a lot easier if Jaws were able to see the text 
written in the graphic so it could be copied into the edit box.
 Hope someone's got an answer,
                   John.
