<p>
A common method of limiting access to services made available over the Web is visual verification of a bitmapped image. This presents a major problem to users who are blind, have low vision, or have a learning disability such as dyslexia. This document examines a number of potential solutions that allow systems to test for human users while preserving access by users with disabilities.

<p>This is a W3C Working Draft produced by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines Working
Group (WCAG WG). It describes requirements for Checklists and Techniques described by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 (WCAG 2.0). These requirements are related to but different from Requirements for
WCAG 2.0 in that "Requirements for WCAG 2.0 Checklists and Techniques"
specifies requirements for the technology-specific documents produced by
the WCAG WG while "Requirements for WCAG 2.0" specifies general
requirements for the general usability of documents produced by the WCAG
WG. The Working Group encourages feedback about these requirements as well
as participation in the development of WCAG 2.0 by people who have
experience creating Web content that conforms to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0. </p>
