C-Print is similar to CART (communication access real-time translation) in that the service providers for both systems can provide a real-time display of the spoken information and transcript (notes). C-Print captionists, however, provide a meaning-for-meaning representation of the spoken information versus verbatim, which has traditionally been the goal of CART providers.
CART is a stenography-based system that requires stenography equipment and at least two years of specialized training (similar what is used for television closed captioning in a courtroom).
