I have heard of some of these types of confirmation services which
offer you the choice of graphics or a sound file. (You listen to the
sound
file, and then type in what you hear.)
This is a decent solution for blind users, but obviously screws the
deaf-blind.
I don't know if there's a good general solution. At the very least,
you should
write to those companies using such a method and ask them to provide
sound as well as graphics, and make them aware of the problems for
deaf-blind individuals.
