That process usually works for me with audio
challenges as well.

I don't recall if I did exactly this, but I did
something like this and it worked. I went into forms mode and I tabbed
and/or shift tabbed to get to the get an audio challenge button if I wasn't on
it already. I activated it with the space bar. Then I typed as I
heard the numbers. I was automatically placed in the edit field even if
the screen-reader didn't know I was in an edit field. I then tabbed to
the submit button or whatever it was called, if not that, it's clear what it
is, and pressed the space bar.
That is a problem with audio challenges.
Just as visual challenges are not easily solvable, if at all, for people with
vision problems, so audio challenges aren't solvable as I understand it, in
general, for people with hearing problems.
This isn't an ideal solution but often, you are
verified if you just check the check box. So, if you aren't, close and
reopen the page, fill out whatever you need to fill out again, then be try
checking the check box. I don't know how often you are verified when you
do that, I'm often verified and often not. You can see. I suspect
that roughly every third or fourth time, you will be verified.

As I mentioned previously, I was able to get the audio challenge to play
using Firefox 51, but even with my hearing aids, I found the speech garbled
and incomprehensible, even with the volume turned all the way up on both my
aids and my computer. After the third challenge, the page would not
allow me to try another one. And like Mike, I could not locate any edit
field to enter the challenge result. You say you were able to successfully
solve the audio challenge. But where did you enter the
result? And of course, the image captcha is unsolvable with
Webvisum.

You never know when you will be verified just by
checking the box or when you will be asked for a challenge. The point of
the I Am not a robot system is that it can tell the difference between a bot
and a human by how the check box is checked in terms of how a person moves to
it with a mouse and checks it as opposed to an automated system.
Sometimes, from the keyboard, it can tell that you are a person and sometimes
it can't tell so you get a challenge then.
This is a widely used system and, instead of just
giving up and saying "I can't get it to work," it would be a good idea to try
to solve the problem because you never know when you will see the same captcha
system again.
As I asked before with Mike, Gerald, do you have
Flash installed? What browsers did you try? Did you try more than
one?
I saw this system when contacting a local radio
station, on the site we are discussing today, and I believe on another site
about three months ago. As I said, this is a very popular system and it
is a good idea to try to figure out how to make it work.

I and others have been able to go through the verification
without issues. Jaws 18/Firefox 55/Windows 10. Don’t know what to tell you. I
didn’t even have to deal with the audio challenge. I just check the box that I
am not a robot, got verified and proceeded.

Okay, the audio
challenge doesn’t work for me, because I tried over and over a few times
without success, and it apparently doesn’t work for some other list members,
either. So I called the special security breach hotline Equifax set up
(866-447-7559), but after waiting on hold for 20 minutes, I was
disconnected. So at this point, there is no way for most blind consumers
to verify whether they have been affected by this massive security
bbreach.

I was able to
activate the audio challenge using Firefox but not IE 11. But I tried
three different challenges and could not understand the words in any of
them, which sounded garbled to my ears. Besides, there is no edit field
to enter the audio challenge results. Bad job by
Equifax.

No,
something in your browsers configuration is keeping you from hearing the
challenge. I got an audio challenge within seconds of activating the
button.
If you
have Chrome try using it. If you can hear the challenge in Chrome and
not in the other browsers, at least you'll know which browser to use on such
captchas. It's possible this is a Flash issue. Do you have Flash
installed in Internet Explorer and Firefox?

After
checking the I'm not a robot checkbox I shift + tabbed & pressed the get
an audio challenge button, but never received an audio challenge. I
tried several times with each browser without success. Maybe the website
is just very busy, & can't keep up or something. I'm covered by
another service as well, & was just seeing how the sign up would
work.
Take
care. Mike. Go Dodgers!

I don't
know why you couldn't get it to work. I didn't enroll in their
monitoring service; I'm already enrolled in one, but I checked the part of the
site that tells me whether I may be affected by the breach. the wording
in the response was roughly, based on the information submitted, we believe
you weren't affected. So, they believe, but they aren't making a
definite statement.
But as
far as the captcha problem is concerned, after you checked the I am not a
robot checkbox, did you get a message that you were verified or did you get an
interface that allowed you to get an audio challenge? These I am not a
robot captchas are very popular and it would be to your longterm benefit if we
can see why you are having a problem. I don't use the archaic and ever
increasingly archaic Internet Explorer. I was able to use the captcha
using Firefox and I've used Chrome on the same kind of captcha on another
site.

You're supposed to be able to enroll
in complimentary identity theft protection and credit file monitoring for 1
year, but good effing luck! I tried with both IE11 & FF52
& couldn't get their audio CAPTCHA option to work with either
browser.
