Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) is a speech-to-text captioning service that a person who is deaf or hard of hearing may request as a reasonable accommodation. People with hearing loss such as the late-deafened, oral deaf or individuals with cochlear implants may or may not be fluent in a visual sign language, or may prefer captions over sign language and rely on the written word to access language.
