Lower limit for CAPTCHA, White House
Incredible and embarrassing. Is this a new fall of the CAPTCHA, and besides for the White House? Let me explain.
In order to sign an on-line petition to the White House about ensuring the global availability of books for the blind, you need to register an account. The problem is that for this registration it is necessary to solve the CAPTCHA, and its audio version cannot be decrypted. Thus, blind people cannot sign a petition defending equality for the blind!
Very sad irony.
Here is an example of the audio version of the CAPTCHA , which needs to be solved in order to register for joining the petition. Since this cannot be resolved, the site does not comply with the standards of Section 508 (section of the law prohibiting discrimination of persons with disabilities in the field of electronic and information technologies. - approx. Transl.), Which is a requirement of the White House itself.

Unfortunately, there is still no clear decision on the availability and convenience of CAPTCHA. Now it seems that a combination of other methods (see links below) is the best way to implement.
