no, the way is the one presented, letting the owner of the websites do their sites accessible.

Not to stay and find work arounds to enter their sites.
Some websites owner complained about wevisium and that they are not agree with using it. More over, as I noticed you need some kind of invitation to make a webvisium account. More over, webvisium works only on firefox, but if I am using internet explorer... So the solution is, any time I want to access a web site and I can not, I write to the owner presenting to him the facts and possible solutions.

"ah, you can do that, let change something to do it impossible".
No, I don't think there are many big organizations that change things to
make it impossible for us to view capcias. The idea presented here was a
valid one. Rather than sitting here and complaining about it, we have a
solution that -is- usable. And as far as I know, m$, google, yahoo and
all the other hated capcia-using sites haven't changed the site so it's
impossible. They've added audio capcias, too. These aren't great, but
when you can see them, neither are the images. If you have a better
solution to present the solution that capcias do that is accessible, I'd
love to hear it.

We must force them make that captcha or any kind of information
accessible, not to spend time to find workarounds every moment to every
new problem that arises.
Because as soon as you find a workaround and they will know about it,
they simply will say, "oh, right, you have the posibility to use it, we
don't need do to nothing anymore", or, more better:
"ah, you can do that, let change something to do it impossible".
This is th reason I don't use webvisium and I write in every individual
ocasion I can not use a site to the owners.

Really? I have had an awful time with google audio captcha.  Maybe it's
because I wear hearing aids??? I have spent ridiculous amounts of time
before calling in a sighted family member to do the graphic version.
Oh,
and the numbers/letters are different in characters for some reason.
Perhaps
this is to prevent using both to figure something out???
Anyway, what is your trick for getting past the captcha on google?
Thx.

I have found that Google's audio captia system works pretty well as it
doesn't require that you type all of the characters it speaks but,
rather,
will accept a subset if they are in the correct order. I discovered
this by
accident but tried a few more times and verified I was correct in this
guess.

I don't know how many of the characters are necessary to meet their
threshhold for acceptance but someone can probably interpolate and
find out
if interested.

Yep, because MS doesn't use capcia or require you to do odd things when
you want to sign up.

Hi Guys: JAVA eh. I am peeking at the new wp7 development
environment,
Visual Studio stuff which sounds familiar but involves Silverlight
and
XNA stuff that I have not worked with. I mighght take a peek at that new Android list to see what accessibil development environment and tools are used but so far I have not heard of anything as accessible
as the Visual Studio Environment for applying several technicals to
one application which all work together without too much fudging
around with compatibility and accessibility issues.
Anyway, it's worth a peek so i guess I'll sign up for a little while
to see what the guys are talking about. My guess is that that
environment will be frought with software and accessibility issues
based on JAVA, Google and other non coordinated software and
development environments when compared to staying in Visual Studio
and
i'ts integrated development environment..

I just joined, even though I have an iPhone. I'm a programmer,
and I'd
like to see how people are doing things with android. I hear it uses
java.

It seems that a lot of non-android people will get there only to
see
what is
written there.

   Hello. I have created a new group for topics pertaining to
programming and developing for Android. This list is both for
blind
people who are developing or considering developing for Android
and for
anyone who wishes to incorporate accessibility into their
programs. This

list is of a more technical nature, and is not a place for
general new
user questions.

Here's the link to subscribe.

http://groups.google.com/group/eyes-free-dev
Or send a blank message to
eyes-free-dev+subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Enjoy.
