How Does CART Work?
CART services may be performed on site or, in some situations, from a remote location via the Internet.
As words are spoken, all words appear instantly on a computer screen or other display.
Captions can be displayed for one person or projected for an audience.



Are Computer Skills Necessary?

No. However, reading skills are a necessity.

Where Is CART Used?
  CART is used wherever there is a need for enhanced communications, such as classrooms,
meetings,  appointments, support groups, hospitals, courtrooms, and social events.

CART is similar to an interpreting service in that it is an accommodation
available for your use to ensure access to public services.

Who Uses CART?
  Consumers of CART services generally are people who are late-deafened or hard-of-hearing.
It also benefits people who are visual learners and people who are learning English as a second language.
