Hello everyone,
Also include the ability to make this information available to screen
readers while hiding it from spam bots. There are people being left behind
such as the deaf-blind. Audio captchas won't work if you cannot hear them.
This population is tired of being left out of Web accessibility.

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.
Thanks,
Tom Ladis a
