Communication Access Real-Time (CART) provides equal language access by delivering displayed text from live speech. This benefits a wide range of audiences, such as those who are deaf, latened-deaf, those who have different language backgrounds, and those who are hard-of-hearing.
Most common CART assignments

CART provides realtime captioning for the classroom so that every student can gain full access to the lesson. This solution is given to school systems, technical schools, universities, and more.
