Re: Captcha alternatives

Getting spam is a problem that no visitor of a website has.

Using captchas means, you let your users work to solve your problems.

Avoiding spam needs a strategy depending on how much spam you get and where it comes from.

In many cases simple and stupid solutions can help a lot, like putting a confirmation page between the form and the final send button or checking the time between opening a form and sending it.

No human sends a form in less than a second / robots so!

So there are things you can try first before sharing your users data with google and using the visitors of your site to solve your problems.

Good morning,
I know this subject has come up before in this group but could not find the related emails on Captcha.
I realize that captchas are not very accessible but what are some alternative ways that captchas can work for everyone?
Alternative text can be added to the images or a voice narration were some of the alternatives I have read.
If captchas are wanted because they mitigate spam attacks, what alternatives are there?
Looking forward to your comments.
