Open Signed Online not Accessible to the Visually Impaired
Nokia has launched a beta service which is called Open Signed Online. It allows users to sign their unsigned S60 applications for a specified IMEI number. On Monday the service received a major boost by becoming available 24 hours per day. Eventually it is supposed to help us sign SIS files without having a developer account on the Symbian Signed web site. This is because currently many S60 applications which have proved to be quite handy aren’t signed and the available self-signing mechanism is a headache, to say the least.
At any rate, this important service cannot be utilized by the visually impaired because both the registration page and the application submission process make use of a captcha system which offers no audio alternative. Simply put, the visually impaired have no way of accessing Open Signed Online other than asking a sighted person to read the visual verification code every time an application should be submitted.
If you are interested in removing this barrier, please comment on this post. Simply copy and paste the following sentence into your comment:
“Visual verification without an alternative audio captcha prevents the blind and partially sighted from filling out forms on the internet; as a consequence, I’d like Nokia to implement audio captcha for the Open Signed Online service.”
Everyone can sign this online petition regardless of whether or not they’re visually impaired. I’m going to send the comments to the Nokia Accessibility division as well as the Open Signed Online team. Thanks for your cooperation.

The visual verification used on Nokia Unsigned makes it unusable by visually impaired people. Since Nokia is one of the producers of smart phones that can be made accessible to the blind, it is important that services such as this be accessible as well. I encourage Nokia to add an audio captcha option, or to change the verification to an option that is accessible to everyone — such as the word problems used on some other sites.
Thank you.,

Visual verification without an alternative audio captcha prevents the

a consequence, I’d like Nokia/Symbian to implement an audio captcha for the
various Symbian Signing services.
If this isn’t possible then the captcha should be removed.
This signing process is not accessible to the blind, an audio process would be an acceptable procedure. thank you

Many web-based service providers such as Google offer an audio alternative to the visual verification method.
I’d like Nokia to implement audio captcha for the Open Signed Online service.
This would enable me to use GPS software especially developed for blind people. In turn this would greatly enhance my independence and quality of life.

As a responsible company, and one which perports to be interested in the accessibility of their products, Nokia should implement this SMALL change which is already in use by companies such as Google, Paypal, Yahoo and others.
Come on Nokia, it’s not difficult, and while you’re at it why not change the hidiously inaccessible interface on your PC Suite application to something that can be used by those blind people who are forced to use your phones because Symbian hasn’t spread to other manufacturers! !

Visual verification without an alternative audio captcha prevents the blind and partially sighted from filling out forms on the internet; as a consequence, I’d like Nokia to give all users a CHOICE between using visual-style captcha or using audio-style captcha for the Open Signed Online service. (Audio leaves deaf people out. Visual leaves blind people out. If you offer both visual and audio options then most blind people and most deaf people can simply choose the one most accessible for them.)
In addition, Nokia should bear in mind that some people may still find BOTH visual and audio options to be inaccessible (e.g., people who are deaf-blind — which is 2% of the deaf population, so not quite as rare as you might think; or people who are deaf and dyslexic, or blind and with auditory processing disorder). Consequently, they should offer a way for people who find both audio and visual captchas to be inaccessible some way to reach a live person on-line for assistance.
Nokia should also explore ways to make captcha systems accessible in a way thta requires neither sight or hearing ability.
