Subject: New Image Captia Service



Hi everyone. There is now a JAWS friendly alternative to Webvisum called Solona for solving image captias that works with any web browser including Internet Explorer. Unlike Webvisum, which uses proprietary software to solve captias, Solona depends on real live human beings to perform this task. You basically create an image file containing the captia and upload it to Solona, where a sighted operator decodes it and displays the result in text that JAWS can read so that it can be copied and pasted into the appropriate edit field. It is not as easy to use as Webvisum, but it can come in handy when Webvisum is unable to successfully solve a particular captia. If you're interested,be sure to read and understand the instructions on the Solona Learn page (click on "How Solona Works") before you register. I have already tried it and it works, but the instructions are a little complicated. So if you are constantly frustrated or thwarted by inaccessible image captias but don't like using Firefox with Webvisum, check out this great new service.
