Question: how do you make captchas work for blind people?
Ah! They do an audio puzzle apparently. For Google captchas at least.
https://support.google.com/recaptcha/answer/6175971?hl=en
Some used to have an audio button where they read the letters in different voices / accents and there’s a ton of weird background noise and static. It was super annoying.
I know that hCaptcha has a system where they send you an email containing a link to a page, which will set a cookie in your browser telling the CAPTCHA to auto-flag you as verified.
Of course, good luck if your browser blocks third-party cookies, you don't browse in incognito mode, or if your screen reader can interact with the CAPTCHA to get the link in the first place...
