CART Captioning
CART Real-Time Captioning Services
Improve engagement for Deaf and hard-of-hearing communities, non-native language users, and visual learners.
Overcome comprehension challenges of complex or technical subject matter, noisy or distractive environments, and large spaces with audience members far from the speaker.
Our live captioning agents produce high-quality real-time captions with high accuracy, accounting for accents, terminology, and slang. After your session, you have access to the transcript with the option to request a cleaned transcript for your records.
Benefits of CART
Benefits
Comprehension
Reading clear, accurate text of a presentation increases understanding
Equity
CART captioning allows broader audience participation, regardless of primary language, hearing status, or listening comprehension
Retention
Studies show use of captions increases short- and long-term recall of information
Engagement
Our post-session transcripts for CART captioning sessions eliminates the need for note-taking, so participants can keep their attention on the speaker
What it does
When a session starts, our remote captioning agent accesses your audio feed and converts speech and non-verbal context—like laughter or applause—into text for users to view via our online feed on a tablet, laptop, or mobile device. Afterward, you can access a transcript.

The captions you can access for television or streaming broadcasts are typically closed captions, meaning you must adjust a setting on your device to see them, and they’re usually a transcript of a pre-recorded video.
CART live captions are an example of open captions, which are always visible, and as the name suggests (see the previous question), CART captions are real-time speech-to-text translation.
Savvily. When the message matters, CART live captioning allows everyone to catch every word, better understand and remember it, and pay attention in the moment rather than frantically taking notes. You can always go back and refer to the full transcript later.
Simply, they work for you. Our captioning agent listens to the audio of your event or presentation and converts it to text users see immediately, allowing them to follow along in real time without missing a beat.
