Dyslexic Captcha Experiment

A group of developers and dyslexia advocates in India banded together to create a captcha campaign aiming to show people what it might be like to have reading difficulties, especially those with a visual cause.

They displayed their captcha to 1 million people, the majority of whom could not decipher it and clicked the refresh button to get a new captcha option. In the process, they were given an explanation of what it might be like for children who struggle to read daily due to reading difficulties.
