I do think the point of dyslexia and bad vision is a good and
important one, but I just think that can be worked around with old
fashioned communication. Automation is what allows us to simplify and
speed up registration and also what allows spammers to mass-spam. If
either of the two ends are not automated, the problem is no longer
automated spam registration.
This idea presents a chance to make a hybrid of direct communication
and automation. Administrators of the website will likely have to
accept very few registrations manually because most people would
prefer to take the short time to decode the word, and the rest will be
automatic.
Besides, there are probably more people on the internet who don't
speak English or don't speak it well than those who can't read their
screen or can't read it well. Before you even bother with handicaps,
you can help a larger percentage by covering a few more languages. At
least covering other languages will be automated once you code it.
I think it's still important to only put common words in the captcha
database. Things like colors, greetings, etc.
I don't agree with the immaturity this thread has gained, though.
Count me out.
