  1. In realtime writing, what does 'translation rate' measure?

    Answer: The percentage of strokes that translate correctly into English text

    Translation rate reflects how much of the writer's output converts to correct text without untranslates or mistranslates.

  2. A student who is hard of hearing asks the CART provider to add notations for sounds like laughter and applause. How are these usually indicated?

    Answer: In parentheses or brackets as sound descriptions

    Environmental sounds are typically shown in parentheses or brackets, such as (Laughter), to convey context.

  3. Which of the following is the best example of a CART provider maintaining an appropriate professional role?

    Answer: Remaining impartial and not participating in discussion

    CART providers act as neutral communication facilitators and do not tutor, advocate, or join discussions.

  4. Remote CART differs from on-site CART primarily because the provider:

    Answer: Receives audio over a connection and streams text to the consumer from another location

    Remote CART relies on audio feeds and internet text streaming rather than physical presence.

  5. When multiple people speak in a meeting, what CART practice best helps the consumer follow the conversation?

    Answer: Using speaker identification for each change of speaker

    Clear speaker identification lets the consumer know who is talking as the conversation shifts.

  6. A CART provider realizes a significant word was mistranslated on screen a few seconds ago. What is the generally preferred approach?

    Answer: Make a quick correction if possible without falling behind the speaker

    Providers correct meaningful errors on the fly when they can do so without losing current speech.

  7. What is the main difference between verbatim CART and meaning-for-meaning captioning?

    Answer: Verbatim captures spoken words as said, while meaning-for-meaning conveys the message in condensed form

    CART aims for word-for-word text, whereas meaning-for-meaning systems like TypeWell or C-Print condense content.
