@TPTgeneral @StokeySye @TheLastLeg @googledevs @LondonVisionUK @MacularSociety @partsight @RNIB Hi, @StokeySye. Thank you for raising the issue of CAPTCHA with us. Google have recently introduced their reCAPTCHA v3 service for web developers which claims to provide a completely seamless user experience. We would all like to see universal adoption of inclusive design.
