Hello Mike,

I see you trotting out this "sighted reader" argument quite often.  That's 
all fine and good, but...

Why should there be screen readers and other assistive technologies for the 
blind?  Couldn't one just avail themselves of a sighted reader?

Why should there be accessible voting?  Why should the election officials 
have to help us vote?  Shouldn't we all be required to bring our trusty 
sighted reader with us?

Why should anyone purchase a K-NFB reader when they can plunk even more 
money down over their lifetime to hire the services of a more reliable 
sighted reader?

Now waaaait a minute here.

I agree that the site is progress. But using sighted readers is an
honorable thing!

  Hey, anything's better than having to wait for a sighted person!
Thanks.
  I'll give it a try.

  Today, I heard about this site on another list, and I love it.  If you
  ever
  need to use a site that requires captchas,
  you will to.  The url is

  www.captchakiller.com

  The first thing you will have to do is sign up for an account.  On the
  home
  page, they have a lot of forum posts and
  comments, but if you look for the crate an account link, you should
have
  no
  problems at all.

  Once you have an account, you can upload those bothersome captchas,
and
  the
  site will process them for you.

  I had a little trouble at first, but once you realize what they want,
  it's
  fairly straight forward.

  I'll give you the step by step instructions.
  1.  go to the site that has the captcha.
  2. find the exact page that has the captcha, and copy the url that's
in
  the
  address bar.
  3.  find the captcha on the page, and right click on it.
  4.  choose the save picture as option and save it to your hard drive.
  5.  on the captchakiller site, choose the upload captcha link.
  6.  paste the page url into the url field.
  7. hit the browse button on the page, and browse to the file you saved
  on
  your computer.
  8.  after hitting open on the file, hit the submit button on the page.
  9.  then choose the view captchas link on the page, and find the most
  recently uploaded one.  It should be the one at
  the top.
  10 when you go through the table you'll result, and beside that is
what
  you
  have to type in for the captcha.

  This may sound a little complex, but it isn't so bad once you get used
  to
  doing it.  I'm not saying it's a solution to
  all our captcha problems, but it sure beats getting sighted help every
  time
  you need a captcha interpreted.

  Another helpful hint I can give you, is to keep the captchakiller
site,
  and
  the site you want the captcha for, opened at
  the same time.  That way, you can get the captcha processed quickly
and
  enter it on the site before it expires.

  Hopefully, some people will find this site useful.
