> ...this site is offering to automate solving captchas for you? Is there any non-sketchy use for this?

Accessibility.

Yeah, I would pay to reduce the number of clicks. Already using voice to text and a fancy professional mic.

Don’t the good captcha sites have audio and other means as an alternative?

Sure but that doesn’t always work for everyone.

A screen reader is replaced by the audio, and otherwise for you to use the webpage you’re looking at it so you can see. What’s missing? I guess if you rely on braille because you’re deaf and blind?

hCaptcha is awful at this. You can request an 'accessibility cookie' by typing in an email address but for me it denied me with a generic error.

I contacted support, they asked me for IP and browser details. I responded and they gave me suggestions like using a VPN or rebooting the modem to pick up a new dynamic IP. :/
