I have run across a couple of sites where the captia is presented as text or
solving a math problem that is shown in text and not an image. This works
very well. I also use Web Visum in Firefox but Firefox is not my preferred
browser and I need to be able to copy and paste the link of the site in
question to use this feature or temporarily make Firefox the default browser
if the link is not clearly identified. Audible captcha is hit or miss
ranging from it sounding like people have foreign accents or speech
impediments when reading letters or numbers or having selected words not
clearly enunciated or separated from the audible phrase to type. You might
want to elaborate on how the captcha assistance would be provided.
