Yeah, the title just about says it. How do y'all deal with captchas that appear while signing up to certain services via an app?

I tried to do an audio challenge if that is available, but sometimes it is still a pain

yes. but well, there're still platforms which forget to, or don't feel the need to provide, the option of an audio challenge. I actually tried using Be My AI with a screenshot in one such app, but for some reason, it's not working.

Ug hate captchas! I had a website without an audio challenge, which I really wanted to use, no sighted help available. aHow disappointing. I was wondering the exact same thing!!
Audio challenges usually work, and there are some places like on Blogger where it just tell you to check a box. I like those.

I've actually been able to solve a few audio CAPTCHAs with little to no difficulty, but honestly these discriminate against hearing impaired people. I think the way Dreamwidth handles CAPTCHAs is particularly good, because they leave it up to the users and I don't believe there's even an option to have an audio CAPTCHA. Btw, I frequently have trouble with those CAPTCHAs where you simply check a box to prove you're human. For some reason VoiceOver on the Mac doesn't do so great with those.
