Body
The University of Maine System (UMS) utilizes several vendors for live accurate captions for digital audio and video events. The preferred vendor is Karasch (see the following table). Be sure to give the provider adequate advance notice for them to schedule a transcriptionist for your event. Let your provider know if you are using Zoom for your event so that they give you an API number to enter into your Zoom session. CART's accuracy depends on many factors that the session presenter can control. The Hearing Loss Association of America provides this guide to CART captioning accuracy (External Site).
