The more appropriate term is "CART provider," though CART providers are also often referred to as captioners, captionists, or CART writers.

CART is the acronym for Communication Access Realtime Translation, which is specifically recognized by the ADA as "effective communication access."

CART providers are highly skilled, specially trained court reporters that use the same skills and equipment used for broadcast captioning. CART provides real-time verbatim translation of the spoken word into text for the deaf and hard-of-hearing. This service can be provided on site or remotely and is not to be confused with "note-taking services," which are meaning-for-meaning. CART is a word-for-word verbatim translation and includes environmental cues. Many clients receive transcripts of the proceedings. CART can be utilized in many environments including, but not limited to, classroom settings, workplace settings, religious services, weddings, funerals, doctor visits, social events, etc...

See the National Court Reporters Association website (ncraonline.org) for a more detailed explanation of CART and to locate qualified CART providers.
