The latest that I heard is that the Solona program is no longer active due
to the illness of its creator. It used volunteer operators to solve captcha
when users submitted them. The drawback to it was that there was not always
a volunteer operator to solve captchas when they were submitted. Webvisum
is an automated program in which a computer receives the submitted captcha
request and sends it back to the originator. I attempted to use Solona and
found the process very confusing, although I was told that it was easier if
people were using Qwitter. As I am not I did not try it. I have been very
satisfied with Webvisum and use it quite frequently. The only drawback is
that it can only be used with Firefox as it is a Firefox add on. Firefox is
not my preferred browser as there are still some bugs with JAWS that need to
be addressed in their interaction. hope this helps although a bit late.
