Frequently Asked Questions
How do CART Captioning services work?
Communication Access in Real-Time Translation, or CART, is the instant translation of speech into text. The text is displayed in real-time on a laptop, tablet, or mobile device.
Why is CART Captioning important for students?
Studies have shown that access to captioning improves student engagement and comprehension. Captioning provides access to Deaf, hard-of-hearing, and ESL students as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
What is the difference between Closed Captioning and CART Captioning?
Closed captions are transcribed text that is placed on top of existing video content, while CART is for spoken word text transcription in a live setting.
What is the difference between Open Captions vs. Closed Captions?
Open captioning refers to CART or captioned text that can be seen by anyone, whereas closed captioning must be “turned on” before it can be seen.
