Hi all,
Has anyone tried implementing Googles Invisible reCAPTCHA? If yes, tested it with assistive technology? I know it states it is invisible, but not sure if it's truly invisible to AT users.

Hi Jim,
Have you tested Invisible reCAPTCHA with IE11 and JAWS?

Thanks for pointing me to the demo. I tried on Windows 10 and you need to take it out of Virtual Mode to add the numbers or use the number pad. It worked the same for both reCAPTCHA and invisible ReCAPTCHA. I don't understand why Google does not make this accessible, it wouldn't take too many changes to get it there.

I have to say, from an accessibility standpoint, I much prefer text captchas that ask questions in text format in order to verify a human. Yes, this requires a sufficiently large sample of questions to prevent automated question answering, and no, it isn't perfect, but it is the only solution I've seen that works for those with both blindness and deafness.

I concur. I avoid the mouse whenever possible (wrist pain), and substandard-but-not-atrocious vision, and I find most captchas very annoying. I have yet to figure out how to do the "pick the images that show a street sign" type with just the keyboard. Many captchas are hard for me to read and my vision isn't even all that bad. I've tried the audio captchas and found them even tougher.
If a site has a difficult captcha and the content isn't something I consider a "must have", I tend to just give up and look for something similar elsewhere.
A long time ago I implemented a very naive captcha that consisted of questions like "Type in the third letter of the word 'chicken'". It was effective at stopping most of our spam problems because it was a one-off captcha that bots didn't bother to handle. ...but I don't know how well that sort of problem works for people with cognitive issues.

I appreciate all the feedback. I have seen forms that ask the user to add or subtract numbers or some other logical question. Not sure how well they work against the spambots or if there are issues for cognitive impaired users.
