A user who has Visual impairment was willing to open a bug to report some accessibility issue in the Eclipse IDE. When trying to open the bug, he was blog at account creation because of a visual only captcha. Please make sure people with visual impairement or other issues can join the community and contribute.
This is definitely an interesting problem to solve. We are using the Drupal captcha module for this: https://www.drupal.org/project/captcha We should take a look to see if they have this feature on their roadmap. We were using reCaptcha in the past which I believe is a bit more accessible but we had to revert back to a simple captcha since reCaptcha does not seem to work in China. If someone can confirm that this is no longer the case, a valid solution to this problem might be to revert back to reCaptcha? With this said, does anyone has any other ideas on how we could solve this problem?

Aren't there some other captchas which are secure enough and have audio for visually impaired people? I don't think many hacker would try to crack ab audio captcha at Eclipse.org. If no captcha with both image and audio exist, maybe it's possible to have both visual and audio captcha shown on the account form and only ask user to fill one of them at their own convenience?
So after a discussion and some reading: * Google reCaptcha still doesn't seem to work in China * one alternative that is perfect in term of accessibility seems to be to have some "textual captcha" qui a question in it, such as "multiple thirty-three by 2".

With recaptcha, it's possible to request an audio test.

Closing for now because of the upgrade we made to recaptcha earlier this month. Please re-open if you disagree!
