I found this on the Mac Visionaries Discussion list and wanted to share it with all of you. Please take it if you have the time. You don't need to use a Mac to take the study.
"*Subject: **[UACCESS-L] study on audio captchas seeking participants*
Hello,
A friend of mine, Jeff Bigham, a Graduate student at the University of Washington in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering is conducting research into audio captchas, the goal being to use the results to inform future development.
Whether you are sighted or have a visual impairment, if you are interested in taking part in the research, go to
http://webinsight.cs.washington.edu/webeval/captchas/
- the study should take no more than 15 minutes, and you will need to install the latest Flash player, if you don't have it on your system
Feel free to pass this along to others who might be interested.
Thanks,
Jennison"

As a sidenote, I only got about four correct. they give you three chances and then move onto the next one. Please pass this along. Btw, I don't have the Flash Player installed on my Mac to my knowledge and it still worked.

I got 6 out of 10, and made notes of all of them. I thought one of them was pretty cool.
