I'm not sure there has been a request for this yet or not, but I did the search and couldn't find it.
Anyway, I have a vision impaired member who contact me that she can't access my downloads through the security code. Since the code is image, her program that uses to read it will not work. I would like this to be added to the new upcoming upgrade where admin can choose to place audio security code. I know that AIM e-mail have it when you sign up for their e-mail.
Thanks.

That's a tough one since:
1. the code is 0 to 9 and a to f.
2. each sound for each char has to merged into a stream
I think it would be better to turn off the code and use anti-leach

Instead of building some fancy authentication scheme involving audio, how about this quick solution instead:
1) add a field to the user table
users.seccodeexempt
2) modify the admin "edit user account" script to include
an input to toggle that field value
3) add an "exemption" conditional within
validate_secimg()
... || $seccodeexempt == 1 ...
This way, admin can accomodate the user on a case-by-case basis (regardless of, and separate from, any usergroups the user account may be a member of)

bart2 thats a nice solution but cannot be applied at site wide level ... eg Contact module, admins and users login.
its already done but not active yet. There is nothing fancy here ... it pretty invisible with no pop-ups and no players coming up. Discrete, simple and fast.

10 audio files (0-9) multiplied by NN languages ?
If so, now we can have a new
"Learn to count most of your toes, in 100 different languages!" block
making use of those audio files, eh?
