A video posted by Arturo Martinez on July 28 on felicialove.com explains the benefits and purposes of using Communications Access Realtime Translation (CART). The video interviews a number of University of Washington students who have used CART, which enabled them to follow the lectures or conversations of the classroom by reading the steno-to-English translation on a computer or other compatible screen as it happened in the classroom. “If you have verbatim, word-by-word print right there in front of you, you’re able to understand more and have a lesser chance of misinterpreting what [the teacher and class are] saying,” explains one student.
