Hi, i've found that if sites use numbers instead of letters for their audio captchas, they're easier to understand. I'm not sure why this is, since the synthesizer they use sounds like a dying robot, but maybe that could be a viable solution for web developers who don't want to get rid of their captchas. yahoo has done this, too, although they use these synthetic children's voices that sound like they came straight out of Children of the corn or something, lol. The point is, audio captchas that use numbers have been doable in my experience. Ones with letters and words rarely ever are.
