Webvisam is an add-on for the Mozilla Firefox 3 web browser that is
particularly appealing to blind users. It has the ability to deal with the
image captia problem which often confounds many blind users on registration
web pages. Captia is the string of characters that are displayed on a web
page that a sighted user is supposed to type into an edit field to complete
the registration process. By pressing Alt-Control-6,Webvisam automatically
inserts this character string into the clipboard so that it can be easily
pasted into the appropriate edit field. Many blind users have found this to
be such a boon that they have switched from IE to Firefox. Unfortunately,
Firefox is still not completely JAWS-friendly, so its probably best to use
IE as the primary browser most of the time, and Firefox when you need
Webvisam's image captia capabilities. Webvisam does not currently work with
IE.

I Googled it but got only three hits, all of them messages from the PC
Audio
list, none of which explain what it is. A program, I assume. But for what?
