Nope.  Those are distorted graphics which are not interpretable by any current
screen reader, as noted in the FAQ on Freedom Scientific's site.

You have two options:
1.  Enter the info so Yahoo will call you on the link which says Unable to see
this?

Second, if you have an Optacon, you can print the graphic and read it.  It
might be possible to print the graphic and try scanning it with an OCR
program; I don't know whether the OCR will recognize that graphic as it is
deliberately distorted.  But, it can be done with the good 'ol Optacon.

Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

Subject: Using jaws when setting up a yahoo account


Hi.  Can someone on this list help me out?  I want to set up a yahoo account
and have no problems until I am prompted to type in the word in the box
below.  This word is in a picture and so I am asking is there a way with
jaws 5.0 to read what the word is?  Can I go into the html options to change
a setting so I can read the word?  Any help on this would be appreciated.
