Yeah poor Solona. I think its days are numbered. The fellow who was
manning it appears to be ill.

I looove WebVisum. Unlike Solona, unless it's broken, it will solve your
Captcha and it makes very few errors. I highly recommend WebVisum, but
it does require Firefox.

Their customer support was great though; they helped to figure out the commands for Mac. I haven't used it since because it's faster for me to try an audio captcha a few times. Luckily I haven't run across an unsolvable captcha that absolutely had to be solved, or else I'd use them again.
