I use Zoom Text. I am not interested in participating in any contests. 
The site is a very 'busy' site which would be difficult for a non 
sighted person to navigate with JAWS or any other screen reader. I don't 
mean to condemn you but your original post was misleading. Spam is often 
misleading. Your post gave me the impression that I would find some 
solution to the captcha problem. Instead I find a page with many links, 
boxes, contests, tabs, etc. They may have a voice ready captcha but 
navigation for a non sighted person would be frustrating.

I am sorry and I didn't mean to cause all this controversy but think 
about it. I don't know if you have any connection to this site and 
assume you don't. I realize that it is a site you like and that it has a 
better then usual captcha  but you never said that. You should have been 
clear about what you were posting.

Respectfully,

Mick
