ReCaptcha update? . Does Google intend to fix the issues?
Recommendations? What is the mobile experience with the images?
I just tried Patrick's sample on my desktoup. After refreshing maybe
twice, the the mobile version verification displayed.
The images were totally inaccessible using tab key, arrows and space
bar. The focus went to the icons at the bottom of the page.
When I selected the headphones and listened with NVDA, the
background noise was so bad I could not hear the numbers using
different browsers trying several times. I was never able to hear the
correct numbers.
I have a mid-range hearing loss, with hearing aids and some issues
with digital but wouldn't call it severe.
This version is a big draw because it eliminates the numbers..
Thanks Nancy

Google reCAPTCHA api2 not accessible to VoiceOver iOS users.
After activating the I'm not a robot checkbox the verification challenge opens but the iOS VO focus is still on the checkbox and they do not get focus shifted to the actual challenge widget. Even though there is an announcement "Opening verification challenge" when the VO user swipes to the next elements their focus never goes into the challenge window. If a user were to get lucky with expore by touch navigation and open the audio challenge then they would find that the text input to enter the challenge answer has no accessible name. The image based challenges for finding pictures of cake or other items are not accessible to the screen reader due to lack of alt text. The audio challenge is difficult to impossible to complete in the allotted amount of time due to short challenge expiration window. The garbled audio challenges that sound like paranormal activity are basically impossible to complete.
1. Open https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api2/demo in Mobile Safari on iOS
2. Turn on VoiceOver
3. Activate I'm not a robot checkbox
Focus shifts into the challenge widget as expected. User can then swipe to the audio challenge button. User is able to type the audio challenge into the answer text box which has an accessible name before their time expires.
Focus remains on the I'm not a robot checkbox. User cannot swipe into the challenge widget. User cannot activate audio challenge button. Audio challenge answer text input has no accessible name. User cannot type audio challenge answer in time before it expires and they have to start over again.

Did I file this bug report in the right location? http://www.google.com/accessibility/get-in-touch.html <http://www.google.com/accessibility/get-in-touch.html>; It's not really a bug tracker. Should bugs for it go in the Android or Chrome bug trackers?

We have seen the same issues with reCAPTCHA on iOS. I wonder if the link below is a good place to file the bug report
