Some captcha mechanisms offer a button to translate text-to-speech |
| 15 |
(accessibility feature) even without a browser addon, but I don't think all |
| 16 |
do. |

You may be able to zoom in (magnify the browser window content) and still |
| 19 |
retain enough clarity to see what the captcha contains. To zoom in you can |
| 20 |
navigate to the main menu View > Zoom > Zoom In, or press Ctrl++, or hold the |
| 21 |
control button and scroll up. You can reset the size to default with Ctrl+0. |

Regarding Seamonkey, I expect Firefox plus Thunderbird would be a close enough |
| 24 |
match in terms of functionality, but I haven't used Seamonkey in many years |
| 25 |
now to know the current feature set. |
