Steve,

I'm not sure how practical this is.  On the sites that I've seen, there's
a time limit where you only have like 30 or 60 seconds to type the word
in.  I'm not sure I could scan the imagined get it typed in within that
time limit.  That also assumes it's a word and it's good resolution.  I've
heard some of these sites have trivial little puzzles you need to solve in
order to know what to type in.  Even if there is a workaround for some of
these sites, they're still a major accessibility issue.

Now, here's a question about this graphic word.

Could you print the screen and then scan it to read the word?

Maybe that's too simple, huh?
