QCaptcha

A major barrier on the Internet for blind people are captchas, as they can neither copy writing from images or select certain images. In addition, most audio captchas are hardly understandable. QCaptcha therefore relies on answering simple questions so that blind people are not locked out.

Unlike other popular captcha solutions, such as Google reCAPTCHA, QCaptcha does not collect and send data to third parties. QCaptcha is fully hosted on your own server, giving you complete control over your users' data.

QCaptcha currently supports German, English and Dutch, but you can add your own language.

Output the Captcha:

  $captcha = new QCaptcha();
  $captcha->build(); /*Outputs the captcha*/
