Hi, Lynne. I fully agree with what you said. Add to that, audio
captias that can't be understood no matter how many times one listens
to them being repeated.
Just because one has a disability doesn't mean that one should have
to pay a la cart for things that non-disabled take for
granted. Captias definitely fall into this category.

Hello everybody
As somebody who is not visually impaired, looking in, so to speak, I
have one major problem with these services. Why, I'd like to know,
should it be that those of you who happen to have the misfortune to
be visually impaired, should be forced to pay yet again for a
facility of websites etc. to which the rest of us have free access?
This really does leave a very bad taste in my mouth, so to speak,
(again). Visually impaired people often seem to get a very roar deal
and it's high time that these websites were regulated so that
accessibility for all was enforced, not just set out as a guide line.
It's wrong, I believe, that blind and visually impaired people
should be blocked in this way, if they don't happen to have either
some means of cracking these screen shots or a visually abled person
to hand. Sorry for the rant; but I honestly believe this kind of
prejudicial practice, not to mention those seeking to profit from
it, should be banned.
I understand that developers need to recoup their costs and that
website owners need to protect themselves against malicious threats.
But the practice of denying access without a lot of hassle to those
who are already very much disadvantaged should be outlawed.
