  1. When captioning a Zoom meeting as a third-party CART provider, what does the provider usually need from the host?

    Answer: An API token or caption URL so the CAT software can send captions

    Zoom's third-party captioning uses a host-issued API token to accept caption text from outside software.

  2. Why is a wired USB connection between the steno writer and the computer often preferred over Bluetooth during critical sessions?

    Answer: It's less likely to drop out or suffer interference

    Wired connections are more stable, which lowers the risk of losing strokes in realtime.

  3. A CART provider wants to write numbers and symbols such as percent signs correctly in realtime. Which dictionary approach works best?

    Answer: Build and practice consistent briefs or number-bar entries for numbers and symbols

    Consistent dictionary entries for numbers and symbols produce clean realtime output.

  4. What is the main benefit of turning on the audio sync feature in CAT software during a CART session?

    Answer: It records audio linked to the text so the provider can check unclear passages afterward

    Audio sync ties recorded audio to each stroke, which helps during post-session editing, where it's allowed.

  5. How often should a CART provider back up the main steno dictionary?

    Answer: Regularly, ideally on a schedule and to more than one location (such as cloud and external drive)

    The dictionary is built over years, so regular backups to more than one place protect against loss.

  6. A deaf consumer says the text on their display is hard to read in a brightly lit classroom. What adjustment should the CART provider try first?

    Answer: Increase the font size and use a high-contrast color scheme

    Display settings such as size and contrast can be adjusted to fit the consumer's reading needs and the lighting.

  7. What does the term "untranslate" mean in CAT software?

    Answer: A steno stroke that has no matching entry in the active dictionaries

    Untranslates show up as raw steno because the software found no dictionary match.
