Here’s the process of our CART service
Our CART Reporters
Our CART reporters are culturally aware, cognizant to the needs of the deaf community, and adaptable to distinct situations and circumstances. To adhere to each client’s requirements, our CART reporters provide both on-site and remote services with the latest stenotype machines, laptops, and real-time software. They facilitate the instant translation of spoken word into English text for the hard-of-hearing so they may have access to information with a delay.
CART reporters will transcribe
from spoken English to written English in real-time
(Remote captioning is available)
We provide both on-site and remote CART services to accommodate hearing-impaired audiences in multiple settings including specialized, technical, scientific, and legal, as well as information technology-related meetings, training sessions, and conferences.
On-site CART
Our CART reporter will physically be on-site with the consumer and simultaneously translate speech into text.
Remote CART
Our CART reporter will be at a remote location, connected to a telephonic application such as WebEx. This will allow the audio to be transcribed via a website-based application such as StreamText or 1CapApp. Clients will be able to view the text through the link provided by our CART reporter.
