>> Google introduced the Word-Verification CAPTCHA feature to prevent
>> automated spam robots from abusing the system. The problem was that
>> blind readers can't
>> read what's written on the screen. Sometimes, the individual letters are
>> so distorted that normal web users can't figure out the answer text.
>>
>> Google now has a solution. If you can't read (or don't want to read)
>> that cryptic letter CAPTCHA, Google has launched an alternat Audio
>> CAPTCHA as part
>> of their word-verification process. Users can click the accessibility
>> wheel chair icon and it spells out some numbers. Listen and type the
>> numbers you
>> just heard.
>>
>> The Voice Captcha is currently available when you sign up for a new
>> Google Account but expect it to be available for Blogger Comment soon.
