Live “communication access real-time translation” (CART) of an online conference

Posted on by Shalin Hai-Jew

With organizations moving to online conferences (to save on travel, housing, and per diem costs), many are using the services of captioning and reporting services that provide communication access real-time translation (CART).

CART refers to real-time transcription of spoken contents and sound effects-to-text translations. (Closed captioning refers to the provision of a textual equivalent of sound information — whether or not the event is live.)  This translation service ensures accessibility of the real-time events for a range of web-conference participants.

Jeanette Christian of 20/20 Captioning & Reporting (based out of Topeka, Kan.) provided the following responses in a Q&A about CART recently. This company was contacted after they provided CART services for an international academic conference. This company has provided real-time reporting for more than 23 years and has been providing remote CART services for close to 11 years. Its real-time writers are located across the U.S. and can provide 24-hour services seven days a week to locations in the U.S. as well as international.
