CAPTCHAs are widely used by websites for security and privacy purposes. However,
traditional text-based CAPTCHAs are not suitable for individuals with visual impairments.
We proposed and developed a new form of CAPTCHA that combines both visual and audio
information to allow easy access by users with visual impairments. A preliminary evaluation
suggests strong potential for the new form of CAPTCHA for both blind and visual users.
