If reCAPTCHA were free software - or if someone duplicated its functionality in free software - and it were running on a Wikimedia server, would it (or something like it) be something we'd likely run? Given its usefulness to the world of getting public domain stuff from image to text form.
If you mean their general project of using text image captchas to do spell-checking of scanned documents, I'm not sure we'd bother. :)
If you mean specifically their alternate audio captcha mode, then sure... but that's not anything really specific to do with reCAPTCHA. The only thing stopping us from having an audio captcha is that nobody's put the work into implementing it yet.
