Known as one of Canada’s most reputable sources for court reporting and arbitration, Neeson & Associates offers boardroom rentals, US depositions, and transcription and arbitration services. In addition, CART (Communications Access Realtime Translation), or captioning, is also offered by Neeson & Associates. The purpose of CART is to provide people with a hearing loss access to spoken information through voice-to-text translation.

CART providers (often former court reporters or stenographers) use court reporting machines, called stenograph machines, to input spoken text. CART providers must be able to input text as quickly as it is spoken. The stenographers at Neeson & Associates possess shorthand speeds of over 225 words per minute with a general accuracy level of 99% or greater. In addition, they are fully educated on the culture of the Deaf, deafened and hard of hearing communities.

The stenographers who provide CART services at Neeson & Associates assist ...
... in the understanding of captions for those with hearing loss by using large, easy-to-read fonts and clear formats. Where appropriate, Neeson & Associates’ CART providers will include any extra explanatory notes to communicate nuances, subtleties and any other conversational details, like gestures and laughter.

Neeson & Associates offers live, on-the-spot captioning. Immediately after any event captioned by a Neeson & Associates CARTer, electronic formats of the captions can be made available.

With remote internet technology, CART can be made available to the recipient anywhere, as long as they have Internet and, in certain circumstances, telephone connections. Through an audio feed, the captioner can listen to a meeting as it is taking place. While he or she is listening to the meeting, the captioner will make a record of what is said as it is said. This record is sent to the recipient’s computer through a secure third party internet provider in real time as it is being created.

CART services can be delivered in a number of ways, including: laptop or desktop monitors, LCD projector with a large overhead screen (perfect for large meetings), over the Internet, Digital Display and Webcasting. Captioning services are commonly used in places like conventions, courtrooms, classrooms, meetings, and more. If you need a space to host a meeting that requires captioning, you may want to consider a conference room rental or boardroom rental at Neeson & Associates.
