Fact: There are just not enough stenographers who are willing and/or able to provide in-person (IP) CART captioning. And we are turning down or referring requests at least once a week. This is a sector of the industry that is GROWING, despite advances in AI.
Most folks are either afraid of "writing naked," or they're intimidated by what they believe is complicated physical tech to make IP CART captioning possible. The truth is that you probably already have everything you need to perform the work; all you need is a few small pieces of equipment and some very simple training. This is applicable to both machine steno and voice writers. Participants will leave the sessions knowing: — Background information about the Deaf/Hard of Hearing (D/HoH) community and who needs CART captioning — Modes of CART captioning delivery and examples of setup — Things to bring to every job — What to ask for at each job — Possible venues and their challenges — Best practices, both before accepting a job and for performing CART captioning services — Audio considerations — NCRA CART references — Considerations for determining charges
