outlines of the world, with hands clasping in  front of it. Accessible World sponsored by Helping Hands for the Blind

discussed making Captchas accessible and his Solona web site by Bernard Maldonado

During the July 13, 2009 installment of the Accessible World Tek Talk Room, Bernard Maldonado, Founder of Solona.net, the Free Captcha Solution Service for visually impaired people, talks about all aspects of Captcha. While this tool limits spam registrations, and spam blog posts, it also affects the way visually impaired people surf the internet. Some sites offer usable audio captchas; most sites do not. In any case, people with both visual and hearing difficulties are affected even more.

The presentation will address different kinds of captcha, specific site examples, components of captcha, and the future of captcha.

Bernard will also discuss Solona and what role it plays in helping visually impaired people independently solve captchas on the net.
