Remote & Onsite CART Services and Transcription
Remote and Onsite Captioning have become a favored mode of access for Deaf, HH, and low-vision users across the nation. Birnbaum Interpreting Services provides more than 50,000 minutes of captioning per month for meetings, events, or other gatherings across all industries, levels of government, and educational institutions. As with BIS VRI, our captioning services are available to anyone and on any device with an internet connection.
BIS captioning services are provided by certified real-time court reporters. Our resources use court reporting equipment to project the verbatim spoken words onto a computer screen, projector screen, or television monitor. Our nationwide database of qualified and certified captioners is growing by the day and, unlike a growing number of providers, never includes re-speakers or automated products. That’s why Birnbaum Interpreting Services was chosen by over a dozen federal agencies to provide remote captioning services through the FedRelay requirement.
BIS provides both onsite and remote captioning services. Additionally, we offer both live or post-production captioning . Remote captioning has become more popular because of both cost an efficiency.
Types of Captioning
While both are methods of transcribing voice to text and can be used interchangeably, CART is a text translation displayed on a computer screen or projector. Captioning is used in conjunction with a video image. BIS will work with you to determine the type of transcription that best meets your needs.
CART is Computer-Assisted Real Time (CART) Captioning, which provides verbatim (word-for-word) English text of the spoken word almost simultaneously as it is being spoken.
On-site CART allows the transcriber to connect directly to the encoder, and provides environment and background noises.
Remote CART can be done off-site, and the speaker and client do not have to be in the same physical location.
Streamtext is an online server where readers can read transcripts uploaded from the transcriber’s computer. Streamtext may be linked with any captioning software, and readers can read live transcripts on standard web browsers. (Free Streamtext Demo)
TypeWell is a system for transcribing speech to text, meaning-for-meaning, using software on a computer, which is then read by one or more deaf client(s) on another computer.
C-Print is computer software that allows a transcriber to provide meaning-for-meaning transcriptions, which can be broadcast simultaneously on two or more screens.
