Google’s handicap-accessible captchas

Google Handicap Captcha

Has anyone else noticed the cool handicap-enabled captchas Google is now using? Go to the Google AdSense login page and put in an invalid login and submit it. Do this twice. Now you have a handicap-enabled captcha (see picture above).

Now press the handicap button and wait a few seconds and you will hear voices speaking numbers. The one they read to me was 5 digits. Each digit was spoken by a male or female voice with background noise too. The numbers don’t match the letters in the visual captcha but they work – I logged in using the audio captcha.

Leave it to Google to come up with this. Nice job, Google.

UPDATE: Hmmm…I just tried it again and it’s not working anymore. No handicapped-accessible captchas anymore – not sure what’s going on.
