This is tangential, but I wonder if something like this could be (mis)used to break captcha - by feeding in the disabled-friendly audio captcha and passing the results back to the captcha server.

As voice recognition becomes more sophisticated I think captchas are going to have to evolve to kjeep up as well.



Captchas are utterly beat, and more so, it's not the technology or difficulty : they are a lost cause. Pretty much any problem you might present in a captcha, machine learning performs better than humans.

So today, failure to captcha is actually an indication that the other end is human.


Pretty sure that's been done with existing voice to text systems. So, yes :)
