Re-Captcha

Hi,

I'm just installing a Re-Captcha program (Completely Automated Turing Test To Tell Computers and Humans Apart) to stop spam on one of the websites I look after. It works really well, yo've probably seen it when the computer asks you to enter a phrase or word shown in an image.

The funny thing here is that it says it is accessible to blind users because it comes with an audio version.

However, it isn't very clear and I had to laugh when a colleague of mine said...'It sucks being deaf'! In this case...it certainly does.

Bye for now.

Ian
