Hi, I've used the audio captcha for Google Groups, and agree this isn't ideal, but it's doable. I know this won't work for everyone, but the original poster has an iPhone, I think. What about using the free VizWiz app, taking a picture of the screen with the iPhone camera, and sending a questi

Google, FB, Twitter, all have audio captchas. for people with hearing loss, these prove abysmally challenging, but even I have managed to solve them. They're not at all easy, and I dread the thought of trying to re-sign-up for Craigslist because of this. • Mark BurningHawk Baxter • AIM, Sk

True, Solona don't even exist anymore. The reason is that the owner was unable to find any other human beeings to help him wiht the captcha solving problem. He was the only one doing it. To the best of my knowledge, if there's no audio alternative, we Mac users are screwed until somebody com
