Accessible alternative for antispam

Please advise as to how one can avoid spamming when, for example, a
website user submits their information to acquire a login account. Is
there an alternative to the practice of requiring the user to translate
into text the letters disguised within a graphic image? For a website
that will be used by many people with visual impairments, asking each
such individual to contact the site administrator may be impractical.
Thanks, and please excuse the repetition if this topic has already been
discussed.
