  1. During a live CART session, a speaker repeatedly uses a new product name that keeps appearing as an untranslate. What is the best immediate action?

    Answer: Define the term on the fly in the job dictionary using the CAT software's quick-define feature

    Quick-defining during the session makes every later stroke translate correctly in realtime.

  2. Why do CART providers commonly keep a separate job dictionary for each client or course?

    Answer: To keep client-specific terms from creating conflicts in the main dictionary

    Job dictionaries keep specialized entries apart so they don't cause conflicts or mistranslations in other jobs.

  3. A remote CART provider sees the streaming text falling several seconds behind the speaker. Which factor is most likely to blame?

    Answer: Unstable or low-bandwidth internet connection

    Lag in remote streaming usually comes from network problems, not from the writer or the display settings.

  4. What is the main purpose of a stroke conflict in a steno dictionary being resolved?

    Answer: To make sure one steno outline produces one predictable translation in realtime

    Unresolved conflicts force a choice or produce wrong words, which hurts realtime accuracy.

  5. Before an in-person CART assignment, which equipment check is most important?

    Answer: Confirm the writer, laptop, cables, and consumer display connect and translate correctly

    Testing the full chain from writer to consumer display before the session prevents failures during it.

  6. A CART provider's laptop battery is low and no outlet is near the seat. What is the best practice?

    Answer: Carry a fully charged spare power bank or extension cord and get the seat changed before the session if needed

    Planning for backup power keeps equal access going without interruption.

  7. Which feature of CAT software lets the consumer read realtime text on their own device through a web browser?

    Answer: A streaming text service or realtime output link (such as StreamText)

    Streaming services send realtime text to a URL that consumers can open on any browser.
