When the next generation web verification systems go on-line we're all
going to be left out. That's on the way now because the spam houses
have people employed to do all of the web verification for everyone of
their targets and that's being done by humans not hardware/software.
That's also how they'll stay ahead when scrambled letters get replaced
by pictures and mouse-operated dials and messages telling people to
reposition pictures with those dials. There's enough money being made
that hiring people to hack through multiple web verifications every day
is now economically efficient.

Hello everyone,
Also include the ability to make this information available to
screen
readers while hiding it from spam bots. There are people being left
behind
such as the deaf-blind. Audio captchas won't work if you cannot hear
them.
This population is tired of being left out of Web accessibility.

Subject: Web User Verification Screens
Hello all. I have been running into more and more of the web based
verification screens that ask me to read a bunch of scrambled text,
which I
usually cannot. Sometimes they offer a "speak it out loud" link, but
that
often gets stepped on by JAWS announcing the popup. There are third
party
solutions to the problem, but they require that the user knows about
them
and that they work correctly with their browser.
Does anyone have any ideas for a good replacement for the screen that
would:
1. Present the scrambled text
2. Speak it out loud without a popup
3. Be portable across the many platforms
?4. Be a simple replacement to existing solutions
I feel that it would be a huge advantage to have all of the necessary
features built into an accessible control that I could present to some
of
the major web sites for their use, to replace the mess that is spreading
across the web with the many solutions which all have problems.
Maybe something like a Macromedia Flash control but accessible and
portable.
Thanks,
Tom Ladis a
