CART service in the classroom refers to which of the following?

• A. Captioning And Real-Time Transcription
• B. Computer-Assisted Real-Time Translation
• C. Computer-Assisted Real-Time Transcription
• D. Computer-Assisted Reading Tools

Answer: (C)

CART in the classroom is a service that provides a live written transcript of what is spoken, so Deaf and hard-of-hearing students can read the dialogue as it happens. The best description is computer-assisted real-time transcription because it highlights both the use of computer tools to produce text and the immediate transcription of speech into written form. It isn’t about translating between languages, which would be real-time translation, and it isn’t simply a set of reading tools—those don’t capture speech in real time. While CART can produce captions, the precise term that describes this live transcription process is computer-assisted real-time transcription.
