i encountered this for the first time today while attempting to read something on archive.today.
i confirmed that decoding the qrcode using a computer and following the URL it contains is insufficient; the error it gave directed me here which is what the linked screenshot is of.
the old type of captcha remains available too, for now:
Clicking the headphone icon to hear the audio option is the way to bypass this if you get one.
Be prepared for an audio qr code that requires a special app to decode
For now, yes.
Although having tried to use the audio recaptca before, it felt like a psychotic episode.
Yes, I don’t use them regularly but the audio captchas don’t have a good reputation among blind users.
