The National Court Reporters Association (NCRA) describes CART services as “the instant translation of the spoken word into English text using a stenotype machine, notebook computer and realtime software.” The text produced by the CART service can be displayed on an individual’s computer monitor, projected onto a screen, combined with a video presentation to appear as captions, or otherwise made available using other transmission and display systems.

DES offers an additional suite of language access Master Contracts that eligible purchasers may also find helpful:
Data Searched. The Vendor search function will only filter on Vendor Name.
Match words out of order. For example if you search for Computer Equipment it would match a row containing the words Computer and Equipment, regardless of the order or position that they appear in the table.
Partial word matching. As the contract search table provides on-the-fly filtering with immediate feedback to the user, parts of words can be matched in the result set. For example Com will match Computer.
Preserved text. The search function has the ability to search for an exact phrase by enclosing the search text in double quotes. For example "Computer Equipment" will match only text which contains the phrase Computer Equipment. It will not match Computer IT Equipment.
Combine search types. You can also mix and match these search types. For example "Computer Equipment" Technology or "Computer Equipment", Technology will match only text which contains the phrase Computer Equipment and also matches the word Technology. It will not match a record containing only the phrase Computer Equipment or a record matching only the word Technology.
Multi-Column Sorting. You can execute multi-column sorting by holding the SHIFT key while you click the table column headings.
