Remote CART connects a professional captioner to your meeting through the internet. Readers see live text on their own screen, whether the session takes place in a classroom, an office or online.
Live captions · Private link
How it works
The captioner listens through a phone line, a meeting platform or a secure audio feed. Then the text streams to a private web link or straight into your video platform.
Because no one needs to travel, remote CART is often easier to schedule. It also works well for short meetings, recurring classes and events across several time zones.
Book the session
First, share the date, time zone, platform and expected audience.
Connect the audio
Then we give you dial-in or platform details and test the connection in advance.
Stream the text
After that, captions appear in real time on the link or in your meeting platform.
Close the session
When the meeting ends, the link closes and we prepare any requested transcript.
What is included
Every remote session also comes with the essentials below.
Private text link
Readers open a secure link on any device, then adjust the font size and colors.
Platform captions
Captions can also appear inside popular meeting platforms through their caption tools.
Audio check
Before the session, we test the audio feed to make sure the captioner hears clearly.
Any location
Readers and speakers can join from anywhere, so distance never limits access.
Transcripts on request
When the meeting ends, we send an edited transcript for your records.
Recurring sessions
Set up weekly classes once, and then we keep the same link and captioner.
For readers
Readers open a private link and see the text scroll as people speak. They can also enlarge the font, switch colors and scroll back without losing their place.
Because the captioner writes in real time, the delay stays short. So readers can join the conversation instead of trailing behind it.
Adjustable font size
High-contrast color options
Scroll back at any time
Works on phones and laptops
