The Americans with Disabilities Act recognizes CART Captioning as an effective access to communication.
The acronym CART stands for Communication Access Realtime Technology (CART) and is human made real-time captions created by professionally trained captioners.
Since 2016, we've been supporting organizations big and small, public and private, with their inclusion and accommodation and regulatory needs by providing CART Captioning of live events in real-time for instant communications access. (The CART file from your event is available in rough draft, non-certified file formats and is included when requested at the time of service.)
Additional services include full post-production files available in .txt, .srt, and .vtt file formats for jobs performed by Caption Nerds. Additional fees would apply for this add-on service.
Did you know American Sign Language is the third most used language in America after English and Spanish?
Accessibility is good for business. Not only from a legal perspective, but from a humane and ethical standpoint as well. Captioning can be done on-site or remotely, depending on your needs.
Realtime captions (CART) are considered a "reasonable accommodation" under Federal law and are helpful to millions of people such as the Deaf/HOH community, including late-deafened persons, aging persons, veterans, as well as people where English is a second language, children, and others. Reach more students, clients, customers, and colleagues with your message.
