Worth Knowing
CART Captioning FAQs
What CART means, how the AI version works, and who can follow along.
What is CART captioning?
CART stands for Communication Access Realtime Translation: speech converted into live, readable text for deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences. It's the standard accommodation for classes, meetings, courts, and events where spoken content must be accessible as it happens.
What's the difference between CART and closed captioning?
Closed captions are prepared for recorded video and switched on during playback. CART happens live, the captions are produced in real time while someone is speaking, which is what makes it usable for classrooms, meetings, and live events.
Does Maestra use human captioners?
Maestra's CART captioning is AI-generated. That's what makes it instant and unlimited, there's no stenographer to schedule, and a session can start the moment it's needed, at any hour, in 100+ languages.
Can AI captioning meet accessibility requirements?
Many organizations use AI captions to provide access in classrooms, workplaces, and events. Formal requirements vary by institution and jurisdiction, some contexts specify certified human providers, so check what your accommodation policy requires. Where AI captioning is accepted, it's the fastest way to provide access.
What are CART captions in a Teams meeting?
Teams has a built-in CART caption channel, and Maestra connects to it directly, so the live captions appear inside the Teams interface itself. The full setup is on the Microsoft Teams live translation page.
Can attendees read the captions in their own language?
Each attendee who joins by link or QR code can pick their language, and the captions translate live. The speaker speaks once; the room reads in whatever languages it needs.
Is CART captioning free with Maestra?
Live captions are free with unlimited use. Live translation and higher accuracy come with Pro, which includes a free trial.
Does remote CART captioning work for online sessions?
Remote attendees join with the same link as people in the room and see the same live captions. In-person, hybrid, or fully online makes no difference to the setup.
