Please check out http://www.solona.org/ but do understand all of these web page verification services will be rendered useless when the next generation of web verification pages come into use. On the next generation pages, possibly a picture of a rabbit laying on its side will appear along with dials on the page which can only be controlled using a physical mouse. The message on the page would perhaps ask the user to make the rabbit stand up using those dials. It's something google and others are experimenting with now. -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tom Ladis Sent: Tuesday, August 17, 2010 9:48 To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Web User Verification Screens Hello all. I have been running into more and more of the web based verification screens that ask me to read a bunch of scrambled text, which I usually cannot. Sometimes they offer a "speak it out loud" link, but that often gets stepped on by JAWS announcing the popup. There are third party solutions to the problem, but they require that the user knows about them and that they work correctly with their browser. Does anyone have any ideas for a good replacement for the screen that would: 1. Present the scrambled text 2. Speak it out loud without a popup 3. Be portable across the many platforms ?4. Be a simple replacement to existing solutions I feel that it would be a huge advantage to have all of the necessary features built into an accessible control that I could present to some of the major web sites for their use, to replace the mess that is spreading across the web with the many solutions which all have problems. Maybe something like a Macromedia Flash control but accessible and portable.
