Subject: [WebAIM] Making A Better CAPTCHA For the Visually Impaired And
Making Captions More Available To The Hearing Impaired

Hi All,

I'm Samir, a 10th grade web developer and I am working on a Google Science
Fair Project to create a better CAPTCHA for the visually impaired. As you
may know, current audio CAPTCHAs are very difficult, take a long time, and
tend to discourage many visually impaired web users from participating in
online discussion. Not only is the solution I have developed an easier
audio CAPTCHA, but also uses the work of those who fill out the CAPTCHAs
to provide captions to videos online for the deaf. In that way, my project
helps make the web more accesible for both the visually impaired and the
hearing impaired.

Essentially, I take videos online, split them into chunks, and take the
ones that the computer has trouble with and present them to users as
CAPTCHA puzzles. I compare their responses to the responses of others to
verify they are human. You can read the full explanation and help me test
the system
here<http://t-oss.com/why_the_audio_recaptcha_is_terrible_and_how_it_can_b
e_fixed.html>
[1].

You can help me by testing the solution I have, and giving me any feedback
you have. You can test the solution by clicking the button at the bottom
of [1] or going here <http://t-oss.com/puzzle.php>; [2].

Also, if you have any feedback, don't hesitate at all to tell me: I
appreciate any and all feedback!

Thanks so much!
