Look, you all keep saying what small number of people there is that can't use captchas, and if it's only used for regestering accounts, why not just put up like an address to the helpdesk or an email dedicated specifically for this, and say "If you can't for some reason see this image, send us an email and we'll set up an account for you". And the address, obviously.
BTW, if people use browser unable to display images, how much would an audio captcha really help (I mean, sound's way more hi-tech)?

Not everyone loves a face full of Goatse when they're browsing the latest vandalised pages.
There should be an alternative to the captcha, at least for people using screen readers. Perhaps something using small sound files would be easier to implement than something text-based?
