I think enwiki has a toolserver project dedicated to that. there is a google-owned public captcha service called recaptcha, that serves for useful purpose (digitalizing books) and is accessible to visually impaired people. http://recaptcha.net/ i think the best effect of recaptcha is psychological, since this meaningless task may be perceived as "useful" for some noble task. and it's good that we manage to be able to fool ourselves that way, captchas are so annoying..

Someone needs to provide the code, though. For now, people who want to sign up and can't solve a captcha can request that an admin make an account for them, like people whose IP addresses are blocked.

[Foundation-l] Visual impairment
Hi all; Solving captcha during registration is mandatory. Can this be replaced with a sound captcha for visual impairment people? It is a suggestion to the usability project too. Thanks.
