Hello Craig,

Thank you for writing!

A solution to CAPTCHAs for blind people are audio-CAPTCHAs, which are
already provided in the FMS forum system. These would need to be ported
to the WebOfTrust plugin, though.

See

Best wishes, and thank you for using Freenet!

 captchas, but this isn't really the point.
