Janina,
Thanks for the information. The landlord is not directly connected tp this, he is using RentCafe. The landlord is getting tired of me I am sure because I am leaning on him. But he says he has an open ticket with them so its wait and see.

While I'm no attorney, I did want to point out that you likely have a legal 
recourse against your
landlord's CAPTCHA, as I take it their CAPTCHA isn't providing an
accessible alternative.

In the U.S. the Rehabilitation Act, Sec. 504 as well as the ADA applies
to landlords (and condo associations and such).  The Fair Housing Act
incorporates the disability provisions of those laws as respects
housing.

Your recourse would be through the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). Note the inclusion of "web" at the following HUD web
page under the section entitled: "Effective Communication."

https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/fair_housing_equal_opp/disabilities/sect504faq#_Effective_Communication

For some technical backing, I'm currently editing an update to W3C's
"Inaccessibility of CAPTCHA" document. We hope to finish later this
summer. The latest draft of this update is here:

Good luck!

    Once I get the rent deal worked out, I won't need to write checks. I even
use bill pay to send money to a friend. Bill pay and debit card is all I
use.

    I pay the majority of my bills with Bil Pay and if only my landlord would 
get off his arse and inform RentCafe to stop using captchas on their web site, 
I might not have to write any more checks.

Hi, Mary:
You may want to consider getting away from checks at least partly,
meaning to whatever extend might be comfortable for you.
I'm suggesting you consider the relatively new service called Zelle,
especially if your bank is already a member of Zelle.
If it is a member you probably already have a feature on your bank's
phone app to allow you to securely and accessibly send money to anyone
else via their email address or mobile phone number.
This isn't the way to pay your electric bill, but you've likely already
figured how to do that without paper, envelopes, and stamps, and the
local postal mailbox.
Here's a web link to learn more:
https://www.zellepay.com/
Personally, I almost never use paper checks anymore. Frankly, the growth
of person to person payment services like Zelle, as well as services to
pay merchants like Apple Pay, PayPal, or the good old plastic
credit/debit card likely explains why there's less and less support for
trying to make handling paper payments accessible.
Good luck!
Janina

I have been a long-time user of the Talking Checkbook app but the app isn’t 
really working well any more.  The program is actually obsolete.  Are there any 
apps which would enableme to write out checks?
