Made a suggestion to discord to stop these annoying captcha bots. (self.Blind)
submitted by BURMoneyBUR
Everyone who has used Discord, and I bet a lot of us did, has run into these new captcha bots. These bots have zero accommodations for the visually impaired.
A friend of mine got basically blacklisted from a lot of servers without me helping him on the captchas, and I dont think thats fair.
Discord is a nice app that actually cares about blind people so I made a complaint. I hope you all support my suggestion.

I definitely agree this is a huge problem on multiple forums. The other day I was ordering thai food while my partner was driving us there (they make the food in like 20 mins and we live about 30 mins away). But after ordering I was forced to "find the bicycles" and I obviously didn't do well so then it was "find the fire hydrants" and then it was "find the bikes" again but it was obvious enough that I could figure it out. By the time I actually placed the order we were already there and had to wait, which basically eliminated my trying to be useful by ordering on the way technique.

Yes I loathe all the captcha. Even zooming in on my iPad I can’t see those little photo details well enough. I get so frustrated and either give up or ask a family member to do it.

Can't we sue them for discriminatory practice ?

With what cash? It's not like you have millions lying around and I can say that because I guarantee that you are either part of the 70 percent unemployed portion or the low payed 30 percent. Only 0.01 percent get enough to consider suing companite and they wouldn't dare do that.

Discord is not the only platform who use this stupid thing called hCaptcha , hCaptcha is integrated in Nvidia Software GeForce Experience, when I try to login on my account to update my Drivers, guess what, I Can't because they switched from Google captcha to hCaptcha who don't provide an audio option for visually impaired, they provide only an option to inject a cookie in your web browser but, how I'm supposed to get a cookie in a native aplication? sorry for the rant but I hate hCaptcha with all my heart!

Rant away, it truly is the worst! Some utility companies use it for online billing, too. And when you complain, there is always the slow, impractical second option (downloading the drivers directly, mailing a money order, etc)

I don't understand, what is so hard to put a voice record of a tts or a random person to talk and require you to type what you hear, and Nvidia is only one of big guys who use this hell.
