Yahoo!'s Accessibility Improvement
Sign Now
Hello Yahoo! management team,
As a blind user, who accesses the internet via screen reading programs, I found it difficult to create my Yahoo! account, and ended up asking a sighted person for help, simply because there is no real support against that security image that the individuals who would like an e-mail have to go through. The page says that, if you are visually impaired, you have to leave a phone number, and be contacted. But my petition is that this system changes, and an audio file representing the characters on the image be placed along with the image itself, giving more accessibility for everyone!

How about having the people controlling the web site, turn their moniters off, and use a screen reader, to navigate around the web site, and really see/hear! how frustrating it can be.

Like the rest of the blind users all over the world (like me,) I'm also dreaming that someday, Yahoo will provide its "blind users" with an audio captcha to work with my computer independently.

Please improve the way you verify so that blind people can have access to your content.

Yahoo is a great service, and it would be really fantastic if it were more accessible for blind computer users.
