What is CART Service?

Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) is a process of converting speech into text through a third party (CART writer). A qualified CART writer or stenographer converts spoken word into written text using a keyboard or stenographic machine, which is then transferred onto a computer monitor or video screen for viewing. Several captioning services offer remote CART and internet captioning, which allows the CART writer to listen in on the event even when they are not physically present there.

CART Projection Service may be offered if the hard-of-hearing person also has low eyesight. CART Projection Services come in various forms, such as:

  • Overhead display
  • Display made possible by computer monitor(s)
