CART Providing or Communications Access Realtime Translation is the realtime writing career predominantly employed in the college or university setting, providing equal access for deaf or hearing impaired students to classroom proceedings with a transcript on their laptop computers.

What is cart providing?

It is important that you verify that your school trains comprehensively for closed captioning.  Many schools represent that you will be ready for captioning upon completing a court reporting training program.  This is not true.  Most do not teach theories with a captioning foundation.  Most schools do not teach formatting techniques for captioning or provide necessary captioning glossaries recommended by the NCRA and national closed captioning companies, and many do not provide internships and job placement for captioning.


Court Reporting and Captioning at Home is a COMPREHENSIVE CLOSED CAPTIONING PROGRAM.  The Realtime Reporting and Captioning Theory is the only NCRA- approved theory with a captioning foundation developed specifically for online training.  

Closed Captioning, also known as Broadcast Closed Captioning or Captioning, is the realtime writing profession that allows people who are deaf or hearing impaired to read captions of all live programming on the television or internet.

Captioning jobs are available through national captioning companies, and a starting closed captioning salary is about $75,000 per year, with experienced captioners earning over $100,000 per year.

Realtime court reporters use their skills and translation software to provide captions of television programs such as news, emergency broadcasts, sporting events, talk shows, and other live programs.

Most live broadcast closed captioning jobs are performed by closed captioners writing on a steno machine. The realtime steno machine captioner has proved to be the most accurate and consistent form of realtime writing for television captioning. 

Closed Captioning jobs are usually a home-based job.  There is high demand for closed captioners with over 5000 new captioning, court reporting, and CART providing jobs projected over the next 5 years.

The broadcast closed captioner empowers hearing impaired individuals to receive all the entertainment and information broadcast across the airwaves. 

When we have national emergencies such as hurricanes, tornadoes, or any emergency requiring a swift response, thanks to broadcast closed captioners using their realtime captioning training, the 28 million hearing impaired people in the United States now have equal access to this critical information.
