Equipment & Technology Computer Assisted Notetaking (CAN) / C-Print

CAN (Computer Assisted Notetaking) and C-Print are services that utilize a typist to record the general message of a conversation or lecture for display on a laptop computer. CAN and C-Print are different from CART in several ways, because they are condensed forms of what is being said, whereas CART presents messages verbatim. CAN and C-Print use a typist to enter text, while CART is provided by a real-time stenographer or court reporter. CAN and C-Print are used in situations where individuals need some visual information but are not totally reliant on full-text transcriptions.
