I didn't understand it at first; but the reason they don't make the recordings understandable is the same reason the graphical ccaptchas, as they are called, are blurry; a fact I didn't know.
They don't want bots being able to subscribe. I don't know of any bot that can recognize speech, but there may be some, or some may be developed, and the folks at Pay Pal and other subscription services don't want to take that chance. The term captcha, for those who haven't been following the Google accessibility verification petition, stands for "completely automatic process to tell computers and humans apart." That pretty much explains it, I think. As I posted earlier, I downloaded the verification file, set Winamp on "repeat", and just listened to the thing till I was able to fill out the proper letters. If you mess up you do get additional chances. I don't know if there's a limit but I tried it several times before I finally got it right. Hth.
