That's what I'm already using and no, it's not screen-reader friendly because the images are made server-side. So the server isn't changing what it does based on whether the browser can see the images or not.

I was informed of the issue today by someone using assistive technology who could not submit comments on my site.  Usually they get an audio captcha on other sites. I thought it would fall back to text, but that only happens if the server side fails to create images — not if the client side doesn't perceive images.
