Thank u Saurav, I have the application installed, and I know I can use it, but I wanted to bring this to everyone’s attention 🙏🏻  Sincerely,   Mujtaba Merchant Bangalore | INDIA Sent from my iPhone ® Help support my causes: NVDA | Billion Strong | EyeWay | Society for Empowerment of the Deaf Blind | Glaucoma Research Foundation On 30 Jan 2025, at 10:20 PM, Saurav Hegde <saurav0...@gmail.com> wrote:  Hi sir, For the time being, you can use Be My Eyes for windows. It is very good for solving captcha. It may go wrong occasionally but it does get the job done. You can download it from the Microsoft Store.

Recently, I attempted to search for my details on the portal but was hindered by the image Captcha feature. This barrier prevented me from accessing my information, highlighting a significant accessibility concern.   The Captcha, intended to prevent automated access, inadvertently restricts access for individuals with visual impairments or other disabilities that affect their ability to decipher images. This oversight undermines the portal's purpose of providing essential services to all citizens.   I request that the Access India Group advocate for the implementation of alternative, accessible Captcha solutions, such as audio or text-based options, to ensure equal access to the Voters Services Portal for all individuals, regardless of their abilities.   Thank you for your attention to this matter. -- Disclaimer: 1.
