I think without the "s" would be even better.

@JediLin @shawna-slh PLEASE APPROVE

To avoid singular vs. plural CAPTCHA, I changed it to:

On sites that use a CAPTCHA, it is sometimes hard for him to identify the distorted text or identify the images in photos because they are usually not clearly rendered. On sites that send a security code, Elias has to interrupt what he is doing to look on his phone and copy a code, and sometimes the codes are long and hard to transcribe correctly. When using a site that requires a CAPTCHA, Elias finds it much simpler if the text or images are easy to identify. If a security code is required, a short group of numbers or letters makes it easier to read and transcribe.

Perhaps better as just "CAPTCHA" without the "a" before it? As in:

Ok, we are going with CAPTCHA (no 'a').
