What is CART?

It is the word-for-word transcription of speech to text in real-time.

How does it work?

A CART writer will transcribe the spoken word into written English or French text using a stenotype machine, notebook computer, and real-time software. The text is then displayed on a small screen, such as a laptop computer, or projected on a large screen for classrooms, conferences or meeting settings. CART can be provided remotely or on-site.

Who uses CART?

• classrooms
• courtrooms
• religious services
• conventions and conferences
• personal appointments and meetings
• civic events and cultural presentations
• or anywhere communication access is needed
