i encountered this for the first time today while attempting to read something on archive.today.
i confirmed that decoding the qrcode using a computer and following the URL it contains is insufficient; the error it gave directed me here which is what the linked screenshot is of.
the old type of captcha remains available too, for now:
There’s no way this is ADA compliant.
Clicking the headphone icon to hear the audio option is the way to bypass this if you get one.
For now, yes.
Although having tried to use the audio recaptca before, it felt like a psychotic episode.
Yes, I don’t use them regularly but the audio captchas don’t have a good reputation among blind users.
Be prepared for an audio qr code that requires a special app to decode
With the way the Trump admin is going I’m surprised they haven’t totally dismantled the ADA already.
