The one I use allows an audio download for blind. I'm not a big fan either, but I love having a spam-free blog. They can be accessible. The one I use allows an audio download for blind.

It's only a matter of time before enough spammers have real humans doing the work for them (all you do is copy the image over to a porn site and require the user to type the word to go on, then forward that word back to the form).
