CART services are used for meetings, conferences, court reporting and live broadcasting. The text appears in real-time while the words are spoken or displayed. Today, CART can be displayed on a laptop, tablet or mobile device.

Since the 1990’s, The Attorney General has had the responsibility for publishing regulations which implement the requirements of title II (state and local government services) and title III (public accommodations and commercial facilities) of the ADA. These regulations are codified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 28 CFR parts 35 (title II) and 36 (title III). Therefore, CART helps make your event, courtroom, workshop, classroom, speech or religious service compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) which makes if accessible to people who have experienced hearing loss.
