Hi.

Seems to me there is a simple captcha alternative that would be
accessible to everyone.  When signing up for a site that normally
requires the use of captcha, put in a check box that says "I cannot
access the characters to enter them" or something like that which
someone who cannot see the captcha can check.  Then, when you hit the
sign-in or submit button, either a link is e-mailed to you that contains
an I.D. code that you must click on to finish signing up, or, a code is
sent to you via e-mail along with a link where you must access the link
and type in the code exactly as sent to you.

Seems this would be an easy and accessible way to deal with captcha.
