Being #blind is fun. Just encountered a visual captcha with no audio option. So I used JAWS Picture Smart to get AI to read me the text of the visual clue, which I typed in and got through. So basically I'm a human who needs a robot to prove to another robot that I am not a robot. Without my robot, the other robot would have thought I was a robot. Also I was trying to make a payment on my PAP machine, which really should in itself indicate that I am not a robot. #Disability #Disabled

Maybe worth naming and shaming the captcha provider and the service using it, so others know what to avoid or where to complain?

@adamsaidsomething @SyHoekstra What, and hope that the robot makers make the robot “better”, so the other robot *can’t* help the human prove to the robot that they’re not a robot? Do you want the human to not be able to make payments for their breathing rob^Wmachine? 😉

Hoping that the robot makers actually include an audio version of the captcha, but fair point, if the robot makers just decided to make the captcha even harder that would suck
