...Using Closed-Captioning Technology



Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) is also referred to as
realtime captioning, the technology used in closed captioning seen on television.

The acronym "CART" is used when captions appear on a screen without the video.

All screen space is filled with text which allows the reader
more time to absorb what they are reading.

A single user reads text word-for-word on a computer placed in front of them.

For groups, the text can be displayed on a variety of large-screen
formats which all the room may view
.
