[nfbwatlk] [nfb-talk] Blind Federation Slams Captcha Security, BBC News, June 3, 2013

[Lauren Merryfield]

HI,
We need to do something about captchas here.  They are such a nuisance and 
sometimes make it impossible to fill something out even though the whole 
rest of a form is very accessible.  I've even gotten audio captchas that are 
totally terrible!  There is no way I can hear the words or numbers 
correctly.  Then there are sites where all you have to do is type in the 
answer to a simple math problem like what is 4 plus 2 and it works!  Why 
can't they all do something simple like that?  Captchas are one of my pet 
peeves!
Thanks
Lauren
"Can you think of times when an encouraging word or act helped shape your 
life? Someone loved you, spoke kindly to you, gave you a chance or put an 
arm around your shoulder and it changed you.  Their encouragement became the 
cure for your grief, your discouragement or your loneliness.  You can be 
that encourager for others in need." --Bob Patterson
