You can use an audio alternative with ReCAPTCHA.
I'm as critical of ReCAPTCHA as the next HN user, but their audio version is actually reasonable compared to the alternatives out there. It plays sensible and seemingly real audio (I'm assuming random extracts from YouTube videos), generally meaningful and audible, instead of random words with silly distortions.

- TechBro8615 4y agoThe audio version is frequently unavailable, especially if your IP address is assigned to a datacenter or Tor exit node.
- orbisvicis 4y agoI've heard one audio recaptcha that was explicitly sexual. Which I think is ironic considering captcha is used to censor the internet.
- thinkingemote 4y agoDoubly ironic as captcha was originally about opening up information by helping digitise scanned literature.
- SXX 4y agoI guess you wanted to say reCAPTCHA specifically. Captchas existed for decade before it.
