Why should I have to explain something that is widely known and easy to find?

So, I'm curious, what prevents a website from providing a good implementation of both an audio and visual captcha to prevent accessibility problems which you claim are impossible to avoid with every use of a captcha?

If you are curious, then please research it. There is plenty of documentation.

I am curious as to what your answer would be as I cannot find what does not exist.

There is more than enough documentation regarding accessibility issue for you to find your answer. All you need to do is read.

There is no documentation anywhere which claims, as you do, that it is impossible to design a captcha which deals with accessibility issues. It has been done and the research into doing it better continues - even with those who are both blind and deaf.


So, again, remember, the concept of a captcha is this:

A test to prove one is human in order perform some action.

There is no reason why a blind or deaf person absolutely cannot be presented with such a test. Now, if you wish to continue to argue to the contrary, you are more then welcome to do so.
