How does remote CART work?
Remote CART is very simple to use. First, we need to hear what's being said in the classroom or meeting room. This can be done using a Skype session, webinar or a conference line.
Our experienced real-time captioners will "translate" the audio to text in real time using a stenography machine. The text is securely streamed over the internet to a web-enabled computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone where it can be viewed discretely in real time.
As the audio is being captioned, it is displayed in real time in a browser window on a PC, laptop, smartphone or other web-enabled device. Our fully configurable viewing window allows users to format their captioned text for optimum viewing in addition to taking notes and communicating with their captioner in our built in chat window!
