This week, on the Assistive Technology show, we look at CAPTCHAs, those blurry graphics often found on web forms and which often prove to be huge barriers to web site accessibility. In addition to Webvisum, we look at Solona, a new, highly innovative tool already helping many overcome the barriers imposed by CAPTCHA. Solona, in my opinion, Solona is one of the most innovative and useful services to come along in quite a while.
