This is so stupid. Your CAPTCHA is unusable by blind people, and your audio CAPTCHA is inaccessible (you have to see the <canvas> element to know where to click to access to the audio CAPTCHA).
Do you consider that blind people are bots?
- bnr 14y agoLook at the "download MP3" link's URL, the audio captcha comes from google.com/recaptcha. I agree that the button itself should be easier to discover for blind people, like an image link with a title tag.
- hk__2 14y agoIf you want to download or listen the audio CAPTCHA, you have to click on a <canvas/> element, which is totally unusable by a blind people. It's like saying “Look, we've made an elevator, but you have to climb some stairs to take it”.
- tjpaxton 14y agoActually, we should be worked be ADA compliant and have worked to make this accessible. Screen readers should pick up the alternate text. <a href="javascript:AYAH_fallback()" style="position:absolute;left:-10000px;top:auto;width:1px;height:1px;overflow:hidden;">Please complete this audio captcha before submitting the form</a> Also, I know the audio sucks, but it's the most secure out there, otherwise it would just be a giant hole for bots to get through. It's one of the things we want to make better. In fact, we've experimented with audio games and had some good results.
