RE: example of accessible captcha?

Well, at the risk of singing the same song again, a shared label does not 
a shared experience make.
That you do not find an task difficult is absolutely fantastic...for you.
It does not mean everyone within the same well label has your tools your 
situations, or choices.
I was frankly stunned that assurance could get away with such a clear 
problem. I Mean what if the person has another reading  challenge?
Kicking them out because they cannot read when providing phones that have 
no access at all is a tad much.

I suspect the challenge the example you provided is related to the assistive technology they had available on the mobile device. If the technology doesn't permit them to read text messages easily, then the solution will break for that group of users. Thus isn't full proof.

As most audio challenges are distorted audio in the first place. I and quite a lot of others find this method of authentication very poor. This is of course to address the vision impairment community who cannot se the challenge graphic.
