The "AreYouAHuman.com" captcha seems to be the best of the alternatives 
I have seen, as it has an accessible interface in the form of the audio 
option.

I've already implemented it on my development site, and may well add it 
as an option to the Google reCAPTCHA one.
At the moment it's a bit of a hack, but I can tidy it up and offer it as 
a proper alternative.

Cheers,

Jules
