Does this library implement alternative methods like audio? I am a blind user and have to learn the hard way while trying to use "the web" that visual CAPTCHAs don't actually tell humans from computers apart, they tell sighted human users apart from everyone else. From looking at the recaptcha homepage, I am afraid there is probably no audio alternative. While I can't prevent such things from spreading, I'd at least like to see a slight rewording of the package description to mention the accessibility concerns involved with using such software. -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕ | Debian Developer <URL:http://debian.org/> .''`. | Get my public key via finger mlang/key@db.debian.org : :' : | 1024D/7FC1A0854909BCCDBE6C102DDFFC022A6B113E44 `. `' `- <URL:http://delysid.org/> <URL:http://www.staff.tugraz.at/mlang/>
