What is CART?

Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) is commonly referred to as Realtime Captioning. The acronym, CART, distinguishes this text-alone display from realtime captioning wherein text appears with a video image, such as in closed-caption TV broadcasting. Realtime Captioners/CART Providers write over 225 words per minute in phonetic shorthand, translating the spoken word and environmental sounds instantaneously into text which are displayed on portable wireless tablets, computers, TV monitors, and projection screens.
