Please don't use it as a barrier on the only access route to a
service, else you will be locking out humans with vision or hearing
problems, or even simply high browser security settings.

If you want to combat spam, there are better ways, including some
premoderation and heuristic checks of user submissions.  After all,
Recaptcha doesn't stop all human-powered spam (whether directly by a
spammer or by porn-trojans).

Hope that helps,
