CART
Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) is the instantaneous translation of the spoken word into readable English text.

Often called captioning, this text can be viewed on a notebook computer, television monitor, or large screen allowing everyone to read along and participate.

CART is widely used in classrooms, counseling sessions, teleconferences, meetings, seminars, conferences, and trainings, and church services, just to name a few places.

CART enables people who are hard of hearing and deaf equal access to fully and actively participate in discussions by reading the English text displayed.

Although mainly used for people who are hearing impaired or deaf, CART has proven to be a valuable learning tool for people with learning disabilities, physical challenges or people with English as their second language.

Remote CART
While similar to onsite CART, remote CART requires that the client have a computer with an Internet connection. No phone line is needed for remote CART. A user name and password, supplied by Archive Reporting & Captioning Service, Inc., are required to access this service.

Remote CART is available internationally in all time zones as long as there is an Internet connection.

Remote CART is a simple and cost-effective solution for many clients. Onsite CART requires travel fees and often a minimum billing. With remote CART, billing is only for the actual number of hours CART is needed.

Remote CART is often used for people who are hard of hearing for conference calls. Many of our clients are Fortune 500 companies.

Remote CART promotes independence by allowing people to blend in without the added attention of another adult with equipment sitting beside them.
