Those codes are sooooooo freaken annoying. im blind so i cant read the damn things anyway, and sometimes the site got a link for an audio code but it freezes my computer sometimes. Some sites dont even have the audio code. Screw those *ssholes. There are other ways of recognizing a human from a computer, like asking a question.

Being dyslexic I find it sometimes very hard to read the captcha image and in many sites listening to it is even worse for any normal human being! Also, while I am not exactly uneducated I also suffer from calculia so anything beyond primary school maths is just as hard. (How I ever managed in university, I don’t know! lol)

At least this site has decent enough lettering and even the sound is way better than some other sites!

The only trouble with the Brittney Spears challenge response above is that there was no “All of the above” option…

@dave “My personal favourites as alternatives are:

Simple maths problems that you have to type in the answer:
e.g. 8+3 = ?

Useful for both checking you are human AND that you have the required intelligence to make a useful post… just think… if they upgraded it to basic calculus, it would cut out all those replies with “lol” and so on…”

Oh, at least when registering for an MSN account, though the phrase was indecipherable, there was an audio version for accessibility reasons, and I just found myself using that instead!

I agree with the simple sum or using something like colour + shape recognition.

Were you using Firefox? I has a good habit of remembering the values you entered should you need to hit the back button – unlike IE. Of course, there’s always the Google toolbar for IE and Firefox to remember most of the common values. It makes things like captcha resets less painful.

Of course, if the Yahoo application resets the form itself then it’s plainly badly designed and poorly tested… you’d expect more from an industry giant.
