Blogspot Word Verification For All

May 3, 2006 · Filed Under Blogging · Comment 

One of the method used to counter spam is word verification. Word verification (sometimes called a CAPTCHA™) is designed to be a simple puzzle that a human can solve easily but a computer cannot. Sadly, that has not been the case for Blogger. A ton of humans cannot solve our word verification simply because they cannot see it (blind people).

Google Blogspot Word verification Spam

Blogspot and Google has been testing the audio verification feature for a month and now it is officially launch. If you cannot see a word verification image, or if you just want to change things up a bit, click the accessibility icon next to the text field to hear a series of digits. Just type what you hear (in Javascript browsers we set the form field focus automatically) and you’ll be good to go.

I’ve notice that Google has the most user friendly layout among other bigger internet company, for example when I surf net using my PDA, google automaticlly detect it and display a PDA version of Google search page at 640×320 resolution for my tiny PDA screen. Thumbs up for the people at Googleplex. If only every internet giant would be as user friendly as Google, then surfing the net from a mobile phone would be the alternative means in no time.
