Just switch to recaptcha v3. The new version removes the need for users to solve audio or image "challenges"
I understand recaptcha v3 IS the problem. It does not provide audio options (that I have found) and the "mouse" behaviour is non-existent for vision-impaired users using screen readers and is detected as a bot....as best as I can assume.
I'm hoping to solve this for a website made to be accessible for blind and vision impaired people.
If reducing the ReCaptcha v3 score not too far under 0.5 would help I'd like to know if others have tested a workable number.
I use reCAPTCHA's audio challenge due to vision issues. Because of this, reCAPTCHA almost always denies access to me and suggests I am a bot, when I am most definitely a human.
If I manage to struggle through [many] visual challenges, I am finally granted access, which proves that Google judges audio challenges as being less secure than visual ones, and therefore is actively discriminating against visually disabled people.
This is incredibly frustrating and effectively blocks disabled people from a huge portion of the Web.
The W3C has been discussing this issue for some time and I will quote from their own internal issue tracker about this problem:
