  1. In remote CART, the audio feed suddenly drops for 20 seconds. What should the provider do?

    Answer: Insert a notation such as (Audio lost) and notify the host or coordinator through the backup channel

    Indicating the audio gap informs the consumer of missing content, and alerting the host allows the problem to be fixed.

  2. Which technology is commonly used to deliver remote CART text to a consumer in a web browser?

    Answer: A streaming text platform such as StreamText or a similar caption URL

    Streaming text services deliver realtime captions to consumers via a browser link.

  3. A CART provider is writing for a deaf student, and the instructor says 'as you can see on this slide.' What technique best serves the consumer?

    Answer: Write the speech verbatim and, if appropriate, add a brief bracketed note referencing the slide

    Verbatim capture with minimal contextual notes keeps the consumer oriented without omitting speech.

  4. What is an 'untranslate' in realtime CART output?

    Answer: A steno outline that appears as raw steno because it has no dictionary entry

    Untranslates are steno strokes without dictionary matches that display as raw steno on screen.

  5. Which practice most improves a CART provider's translation rate over time?

    Answer: Regularly reviewing transcripts and adding missed words, names, and misstrokes to the dictionary

    Ongoing dictionary maintenance from transcript review steadily reduces untranslates and errors.

  6. In a panel discussion, two speakers talk at the same time. What is the best CART technique?

    Answer: Capture the primary speaker and indicate crosstalk, e.g., (Simultaneous speakers)

    Noting overlapping speech tells the consumer that additional speech occurred that could not be fully captured.

  7. Which punctuation approach is best for readable realtime CART output?

    Answer: Use standard punctuation and paragraphing so text reads naturally for the consumer

    Clear punctuation and paragraphing greatly increase readability and comprehension of realtime text.
