I'm never a fan of CAPTCHA. I've managed toadvocate for other forms of
spam protection at work, but we still have to have CAPTCHA on certain
forms and Google Recaptcha has been the best (or rather least worst)
option for us.
What are the keyboard issues you refer to JP?
This is not a problem with a screen reader, and I think I tested
keyboard only, I always do for standard testing, but now I am
concerned I might have missed something.
