The one that asks you to identify traffic lights always throws me. Do
the poles count as part of a traffic light or just the bulbs? If it's
just the bulbs, should I exclude a panel that only has part of the
traffic light housing and no bulbs?

Two things to consider about reCAPTCHA.
One, its accessibility has often been a mixed bag, which is common for most
Google widgets. Despite being widely used, Google tends to deprioritize fixing
accessibility complaints on them. Also, Google appears to only focus on screen
reader access, which means that other assistive tools, even keyboard
navigation, may cause issues. In general, captchas are viewed as one of the
biggest barriers to accessibility out there. And no, the sound alternatives are
not a panaceas and typically add even more difficulty in getting past the
captcha.
Two, it can create cultural barriers if the image verification task appears.
I've seen some tasks that ask me to identify storefronts, but I failed because
I clicked an image of a stand at a farmers market. Others have asked for trucks
but where do you draw the line? I consider a delivery van a truck? These might
seem minor cultural impasses, but it gets worse when it comes to language.
Supposedly, reCAPTCHA will use the default language of the browser unless you
override it in the link during setup. However, not all users get to change a
browser's default language due to security restrictions on the machine. This
penalizes users who are not fluent in the default language of the browser.

Subject: [CODE4LIB] ArchivesSpace reCAPTCHA
Hi everyone,
Apologies for the repost if you got this elsewhere. Have any of you
successfully integrated reCAPTCHA or another spam reducer into ArchivesSpace?
We've had issues with spam emails coming through the resource request form and
reCAPTCHA makes sense since we have it elsewhere but we haven't quite gotten
the serverside validation side of things figured out in ArchivesSpace. Any help
would be greatly appreciated. I know some institutions have just disabled the
request feature but where's the fun in that?
Thanks,
Bhavin
