Hi all. After resetting my password, I am trying to log into Kik with my user name. I am getting the captcha, no audio alternative available. KNFB was no help, has anyone gotten past this without asking for sighted help? I don't have ready access to it.

Hello,

I haven’t done this but I’ve read of people doing it successfully. Take a screenshot and send it to Tap Tap See.

HTH and good luck.

Hello.

I have no experience with this particular app, but I've heard that Tap-tap-see is not very accurate with captchas. However, all hope is not lost!

You could take a screenshot & upload it to any of these apps or a similar one.

1. VizWiz
2. Be My Eyes

I'm not sure how this would work, but you could also take a screenshot & upload it to the Braigo Companion app. It will tell you what the image is, & if there's text it will show it below. The app is free to download so I'd give it a try. I will say that I've never tried this app with captchas, but I'm _pretty _sure it'll work.
Good luck & hope this was helpful!

when I had to log in one time I found by typing my username instead of my email I was able to bypass the CAPTCHA.

Things might have changed since then.

Back then you would only receive the CAPTCHA when logging in with your email address, but not your username.

I guess with all these spambots around now they had no choice but to change it.
