Petition To Make Google's Word Verification Accessible
Some Google services, including Blogger, require that users type a series of letters, shown in a graphic, during sign up. The procedure is known as word verification and prevents spammers from creating accounts automatically. Graphical word verification, however, renders such services inaccessible to people who are blind.
The Google Word Verification Accessibility Petition asks Google, Inc. to make their word verification accessible to people who are blind or vision impaired. If you believe that blind users should be able to access Web services independently, please consider adding your name.
