We are implementing an audio option CAPTCHA and considering automatically moving the focus to the text input to repeat the character string when the user presses the play button. There will be a few second delay before the audio starts to allow a screen reader to read the prompt to the user. What do you think of this implementation. We will also have an alternative option for users to create accounts who cannot use either the audio or the visual caption.

I think a better approach would be to have the text input field right
after the play button in the focus order as well as providing a
keystroke to invoke the play button from withinthe input field (at
that point screen readers should be in forms mode which enables you to
grab the keyboard feedback).
<p>Please activate the CAPTCHA and type the text you hear into the
input field. You can play CAPTCHA by activating the "play CAPTCHA"
button, or <span id="ins1">play CAPTCHA by Pressing alt-9 from within
the input field</span></p>
<button>Play CAPTCHA</button>
<label for="inp1">Please type the CAPTCHA text</label>
<input type="text" id="inp1" aria-describedby="ins1">
I could go on a rant about the evils of CAPTCHA, but I think I am
peaching to the choir. *grin*
