Mike,

Thank for the lanais of re-captcha. Being deaf-blind myself, you're quite
right it's very inaccessible. Even the low vision will have problem reading
or listen to any captcha.

Another thought: If the ATMs at the local banks are able to scan and read
the handwriting on the checks being deposit, I would have to assume the
today's scanners will read the captcha writing as well. With that
assumption I would say that Jared's approach would be the best route.
