I totally agree there. I have found the audible captchas really bad, in the main, partly because they want you to pick out so many words. Why should we have all that hassle when the sighted people just have an odd word or picture?
Whilst I appreciate the need for them to be used these days, I don't think we should accept such treatment and it's time someone stood up for us.
Before I was able to deal successfully with captchas and even when I used Firefox, last Christmastime it took me three whole weeks, on and off, with many tries, to register for Facebook as the recognition was very "hit and miss". I tried to write to their Technical Department but they don't reply. Eventually I found that I ended up not realising that the first email account had been accepted and I'd in fact made it and signed up because Jaws didn't read that part of the screen to me; so I ended up using another email account and having another few goes and eventually registered that also. guess what, I needed to identify yet another captcha to close one of them down!
I'm sorry, I do get a bit annoyed by all the extra effort we need to put in to do these things so forgive my rant!

Matt, I've tried that on some, entering as many words as I could pick up, but it never works. Why can't they just play two words? What's the point of having an accessible version if it's even more inaccessible than the visual one.

For visual capture you see 2 words and type them in. For audio you type in as many words as you can pick out of the audio in the order you hear them. Its usually part of a film soundtrack that they play you, a dialogue or something, and you have to type in every identifiable word you can pick out.

Barbara very kindly sent me instructions for Solona, and I've now got the tool, but there is nobody online at the moment to deal with my capture. So I thought I'd try the audio method. What I don't understand is why you need to put in two words, yet there are quite a few in the audio clip. So, in trying to narrow this down a bit, has anyone tried it, and roughly where in the clip are the two words to type in? Are they the first and last words, which are chopped anyway, or are they somewhere in the middle that you use? Blimey how sad is it to waste an entire morning of my precious weekend chilling out to mess about with this! But I'm so desperate to download Mundu to play with that I'm drawn to getting registered. Oh well, upwards and onwards. Thanks for any suggestions, and sorry it's slightly straying off Talks itself, but if I get it, I'll be on track again.
