  • I have many blind and legally blind friends who would benefit from having an alternate method of verification. Please take their needs into consideration.

  • Everybody should have a chance to use google's services. There is no reason why anybody should be excluded.

  • Please try to make your internet site as accessable for blind and low vision PC users as user friendly as possible as I'm a PC and net user and I can't see at all. Thanks for your time and attention

  • Everyone should have equal access. Graphical varification does not give people who are blind or visually-impaired equal access.

  • A good alternative way to get the text in the word verification is to have audio files made. Microsoft and PayPal have already done it. Many many companies still need to, not just Google. The blind do surf the Internet, too. I'm one of them.

  • am the First Vice President of the Michigan Council of the Blind and Visually Impaired (MCBVI). People who are blind throughout the state of Michigan use screen reading software so that the computer screen is accessible to them. Unfortunately our screen readers don't read word schemes used and required when we are signing up for mailing lists and the like. It isn't difficult to make this part of your websites accessible to us.I

  • Visual verification schemes which depend on a person typing in a code based on a graphic prohibit blind people from being able to use the service on which the verification depends. Please come up with an alternative, such as having a verbal representation of the graphic, so that I and my blind counterparts can fully use google.

  • Those graphic verification systems are completely invisible to speech technology, locking any blind users out of the feature, with no alternative. You can look at paypal for an example of a way to add access, or live journal.

  • Please provide an audio alternative to your word varification. Many other websites do it, and I doubt it's terribly difficult to implement.

  • As a blind woman, I want to see you make all aspects of your site accessible to me and to other blind people. If you want us to use your site and spend our money, then w need to understand what sighted people see and we don't see pictures.

  • Captcha forms a barrier that makes it impossible for blind Internet users to perform many necessary tasks such as shopping, accessing information, etc. The access technology that enables blind persons to use the internet cannot read the symbols that must be reproduced by the user in order to complete transactions, or sometimes even to use the site. Some sites provide alternatives such as being able to hear an audible representation of the symbols, or a number to call on the telephone, etc. i would hope that Google, and other sites such as Ticketmaster.com who use this system would take the time to find a way to k provide a way to allow blind users access to the services that the site provides.

  • There is no reason why the visually impaired should not have the same access to g-mail (and its insidious viral marketing and ad barrage) as everyone else
