CART captioning
Real-time CART captioning, word for word.
CART (Communication Access Realtime Translation) gives Deaf and hard of hearing participants a live, word-for-word text display of everything that's said. Our captioners work remotely, so there are no travel fees and no two-hour minimum.
CART Captioning
Every word, as it's spoken
A CART captioner writes a verbatim transcript in real time as people speak. Captions can appear embedded in your video platform or in a separate window, whichever works best for the participant.
CART is a strong fit when every word matters: technical courses, meetings, and events where exact wording is important.

FAQ
Common questions
What is CART captioning?
CART stands for Communication Access Realtime Translation. A trained captioner turns speech into text as it happens, giving a word-for-word, real-time transcript.
What's the difference between CART and TypeWell?
CART is verbatim: it captures every word. TypeWell is meaning-for-meaning: it condenses speech into clear, readable text. We offer both, and we can help you choose.
How do the captions appear?
Captions can be embedded in your video platform or shown in a separate window. Let us know your preference when you request.
Can you caption recorded videos?
Yes. We also provide post-production captioning for recorded video. Choose Post-production on our request form.
