An interesting idea would be a browser extension which users can pay or subscribe a nominal fee (eg $2 a year) which hooks up to this service so the user would never need to manually enter a captcha.

It would detect a captcha on a page the moment the browser renders the field and it would be completed in ~15 seconds by the time the user scrolls down to the form and completes the other parts.

Funny you should say that.. We (my former classmate and I) built a prototype for that a year ago, but life happened and I never got around to making it into a product. If anyone entrepreneurial is interested in solving that problem (especially for blind people!), I'd love to make it happen. :)
