You know, I used the button on the page this morning that says for
visually impaired users, and it was great. The numbers were spoke in
groups of 2 with a slight pause in between so that you could type them
while you were being given them. Easiest captcha I have ever dealt with.

I don't understand why they have to make everything so difficult. Seems to me
that nothing comes with only one or two steps any longer. My patience is
beginning to wear thin for truly difficult things that should be easier to
access but that is just my opinion. Of course it really does not matter,
manufacturers programs writers etc. tend to think they have to add a billion
features no one will use, then make you climb through hoop after hoop after
hoop to accomplish one small bit of information.
Some days I wish I could go back to DOS or even CP/M I can't and I know most of
you will think I am just bitching, maybe so but I have more frustrations in the
past four months with something purporting to work and then not doing so. A
few successes, KNFB reader for one.
Sorry, just had to blow off a bit of steam after trying to get Apple to
recognize my iPhone, trying to get Bluetooth to work to connect speakers and my
iPad. I know I have done it more than once before but the speakers I mention
have a lot of buttons and no one thought to tell me what they do, just plopped
the box down said there it is and left. Have been too busy with work and
fighting off sadness and depression to have scanned the manual which I assume
will have tons of images, just can't seem to drum up the energy to do a tedious
scanning job right now, and I can type a heck of a lot faster than I can scan
even on the flatbed
OK, I am off my soap box or my pity party, whatever, I will sit here and
grumble to myself and maybe get over it before I leave for a hair appointment.

Hi Tom,
When I checked the website with Internet Explorer (I am using Jaws 16 public beta) there
was no option for an audio captcha. I then used Firefox and of course was able to use
Webvisum to solve the captcha, but in addition Jaws announced a button "Visually
Impaired" which when I pressed it gave me a relatively easy to understand audio
captcha.
I prefer Internet Explorer for most things, but find that nowadays one can't
necessarily rely on or get by with just one browser. I find that either with IE
or Firefox I can do what I need to do and I'll only try Google Chrome if all
else fails.
Regards,
Sieghard

Cool, almost.
I went to icloud.com/activationlock, put in my serial number to try it, but
there was a captia that I had to input the text for, with no workaround for an
audio captia. Go figure. Smiles.

Apple releases online tool for checking Activation Lock status of iOS devices by MacDailyNews [cfsp
key="adsense_336x280"]"Apple recently released a tool that lets anyone check the Activation
Lock status of iOS devices," Sébastien Page reports for iDownloadBlog. "Introduced along iOS 7,
Activation Lock is a security feature that prevents anyone from erasing or activating your iOS device without
entering your Apple ID and password first. The feature must be disabled before a device is passed or sold to
another person. Failure to do so renders the device unusable for the new owner."
"With the release of this new tool, Apple wants to make the process of checking for
Activation Lock easier, and prevent people from buying a device that might have been locked
because it was lost, stolen, or simply because the previous owner forgot remove the device
from his account," Page reports. "By going to iCloud.com/ActivationLock, anyone can
enter the IMEI or Serial Number of an iOS device to check its status. If the device is locked,
a message clarifies that the current user’s Apple ID and password will be required before
anyone else can activate and use the device.
