Oh, well since May I have been alone, even before that I was alone a lot but my former husband passed on in May so there is no one here to help except relatives that have absolutely no computer savvy, people who want to know 50 questions before they will help ad generally screw it up! I need a solution some time.

Actually, no, I can't see. I depend on my wife to look at these things when I run into them. The visuals are also often hard to see. They obscure the text to make it difficult so audimated software can't read them and fill in the answer automatically. So, using a braille display wouldn't help. Neither I think using something like KNFB Reader or another OCR app. My wife sometimes has to get a new challenge until she can read it and she has really good vision. I'm lucky that she is wlling to bail me out at these times. Sorry to hear about your job. That is a drag and a half. You certinaly didn't need that news. I hope you can find a good alternative soon.

I assume you are able to see the screen! I just had another example of a CAPTCHA yesterday that had no audio on the computer, if I want to go someplace I generally do so from the computer first time, easier for me but I have Firefox, dislike it and have not been able to get Webvism to load into it, but then, I have not had a lot of time to mess with it and over the next months until mid-March probably won't have time, just found out my job has been outsourced and will be working on my options, stay and do only one report type, one I am not familiar with in a program I am not familiar with, move to a service that pays far less than I feel comfortable with, start on disability or retire which my person says is not optimal just now. I approached a site that sells to Blind people a few months ago and discovered a CAPTCHA and decided they just did not want my business. I even tried using a couple of different apps to snap a picture of my screen and see if I could read the jumbo, not in time to type it in, maybe had I had a braille display hooked up, have a Refresh-A-Braille but it was not hooked up as for the most part the controls just don't work after having use a Focus 80 at work and a Braille Note, braille is great but navigation controls don't seem to be anywhere the right places for my use and I generally have so much going on that I don't have the time to play when I want to use it. Works just fine, but not for speed for me. Was thinking about a Focus 14, but now that this outsourcing is in my future hesitate to do it. I know it would be more compatible with how I generally work. My Brail note is an mPower so it is not going to work with the phone no matter what I do. I won't say much more than after HW moved operations to Canada and I have occasionally called and gotten messages in a language I don't understand, I don't want another product from them, thus I never upgraded my Braille note that works just fine for the most part. They really should do something about these things some of us will never see. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Friday, November 21, 2014 12:09 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: word only, subscription, and just explanation, thanks! Exactly, which is why I don't bother with the audio any longer. Especially, since most of them the audio quality is awful! I wish more would use things like "What color is an orange?" or What is five plus nine?" etc. I talked with a web designer who is big into security and he uses one of those kind and says they are just as secure as the hard to see/hear captia that most sites use.

Hi Richard, Keep in mind that audio catpchas are usually totally different from visual captchas. The visual captcha may be 6 or 7 letters or letters and numbers whereas an audio captcha might ask you to enter a number of words or letters or numbers. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Friday, November 21, 2014 10:19 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: word only, subscription, and just explanation, thanks! Well done. How could you tell which was the things to enter? When I tried it is seemed like an awful lot of words. When my wife looked at it there were about 6 or 7 letters to enter. I must have missed something obvious.

Actually, I was able to use the audio option when doing the CAPTCHA to know what to fill in on my iPhone 6. I was curious to how that would work and it looked accessible. If you have a hearing loss and/or have trouble distinguishing between syntheic speech voices, then you may have trouble. There was a softer syncthetic voice and then a louder one which read off the things you needed to enter. This was awesome to see; hopefully other companies will offer audio options within their apps when signing up for services.
