I've heard something about this and my understanding is that this is an
audio challenge.  My question is does this work for someone who uses a
Braille display?  This is an important question for the DeafBlind community.

 

Thanks.

Subject: New potential solution for CAPTCHAs

 

Hi everyone,

 

CAPTCHAs has always been a major accessibility barrier on the web for those
who are blind and this topic comes up on this list quite a bit.  Thanks to
Irwin Hott for sharing this good news.  Below is a link to an article on the
Baltimore Sun website that covers the story about Towson University's
SoundsRight CAPTCHA solution that is designed to enable computer users who
are blind or visually impaired to more easily complete a CAPTCHA challenge.
Hopefully, this new type of CAPTCHA will be adopted by web developers on a
global scale.
