The only CART Platform designed
for Universities and Colleges
Delivering access long after the lecture has finished.
We built our CART platform Ai-Live from the ground up to make it effortless for both students and accessibility support practitioners to create access to university and college content.
You can book our CART services for an entire semester. We deliver real-time captions and transcripts for each student through their individual Ai-Live portal. No need to download or upload anything, we’ll integrate into your system to make the process seamless and hassle-free.
Ai-Live is designed to never interfere with the student’s lecture. We simply need to hear what’s being said. Ai-Live integrates seamlessly with all major web streaming platforms and lecture capture systems allowing for remote access by our captioners.
Our captioners create live captions remotely, which are then delivered directly via any internet web browser to the students laptop, tablet or smartphone without the need to download any software.

Lecturer’s Guide
Preparation is Key.
Send us lecture slides and key terms to north.america@ai-media.tv in advance of your lecture to assist our captioners and improve the accuracy of the captioning. Your materials remain confidential and are your sole intellectual property.
We need to hear you.
Do a quick check before your lecture starts to ensure the microphone is turned on. Use the lectern microphone or lapel microphone when available. If using a lectern microphone, stand near the lectern so your voice can be recorded. If using a lapel microphone, ensure the microphone is placed free from contact with clothing or jewelry, as this would interfere with audio quality. Please repeat students’ questions so that the captioner can caption these. Speak clearly and at a steady, natural pace at all times. If you need any assistance with audio set up, contact the college audio team.

Audio
In order for us to create captions, we need an audio source. Use a lectern or lapel microphone for the lecturer, which can be connected to us via a phone, web and tele-conferencing software (such as Zoom, Skype, WebEx), or the preferred learning management system of the college. Get in touch with us to discuss audio solutions: north.america@ai-media.tv
Internet
In order for a student to receive captions, they need a reliable internet connection. For this reason, a wired internet connection via an Ethernet cable is strongly recommended. However, a wireless internet connection is generally reliable enough to use Ai-Live. Note that Wi-Fi connections can drop out on occasion, causing the captions to stop streaming. In this instance, the Ai-Live browser page simply needs to be refreshed.
Display
Captions are easily accessible via the Ai-Live webpage. This means captions can be displayed on any web-enabled device such as a laptop, tablet, or mobile phone. You can also connect a projector or television via HDMI or VGA to a laptop to display captions for the whole class.
