You wouldn't even need to select a range of words. The system could
randomly choose 5 or 6 characters from normal keyboard ASCII-printable text
(or even just letters and numbers).
You also wouldn't need any video stuff -- the server would know what the
raw text is, and as long as what the person types in matches it, everything
would be fine.
Later,
