Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART)

Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) is a service that provides instant, real-time transcription of spoken words into written text. It is commonly used to assist individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, allowing them to read what is being said during conversations, meetings, or events. A trained CART provider listens to the speech through microphones and types it out on a screen immediately, ensuring the person has immediate access to spoken communication. This technology improves accessibility and helps users follow along with discussions more effectively.
