Example Setting: A Deaf person attends a presentation but does not use sign language. They need text-based translation to access the presentation.
OVERHEAD CART
For Overhead CART, writers sit separately from the client and project captions onto a big screen in front of the room.
Example Setting: Large conference with multiple attendees who do not use sign language, but are in need of captioning services. The projected captions also benefit other audience members who may be seated far away and unable to hear the speaker.
REMOTE CART
For Remote CART, the writer receives access via telephone or computer and connects to the client’s laptop remotely to provide text-based translation.
Example Setting: Small meeting with very little space for more individuals in the room, but there is someone who needs translation. Captions are accessed via a laptop without requiring another person in the room. This option is also ideal for remote locations or buildings with secured wireless networks.

This type of software doesn’t render proper grammar or punctuation markers, changes in speakers, technical jargon, homonym differentiation, environmental sounds/background; additionally, ASR errors in translation cannot be corrected in real-time for accuracy. Due to these aspects, the ultimate output quality of an ASR-produced transcription is of a lesser quality than that of an experienced and qualified CART service provider.
