Solona Volunteer Overview
We need your help!
Do you have 15 seconds to spare? That’s all it takes for you to make a positive difference for visually impaired people from all over the world who surf the Internet.
Solona CSS is a Captcha Solution Service. Volunteers provide real-time solutions (over the web) to people when they encounter an inaccessible Captcha on a website. Since Solona is not an automated service, it is important to have volunteers available as much as possible during a 24 hour period. This is made possible by establishing volunteers in different time zones around the world.
You might be asking “What is a Captcha?” A Captcha is a security device used on websites to minimize automated posts, blog replies, and unwanted automated registrations. You know it’s a Captcha when it says “Enter the words you see in the box above” or “Are you really human, prove it?” A Captcha is usually a word (or group of letters) represented in a graphic that must be typed into a text box before a user can proceed with the task. Most Captchas are inaccessible to visually impaired people since they are only in a graphic format. You might be asking “Well, what about those audio buttons?” Those are very poor quality and it is very difficult to understand what they are saying. Try one and you’ll understand.
Again, solving Captchas is very easy to incorporate into your computer usage. It is not time intensive and is not difficult.
