So, I welcome the CART intepreters to help us people with a hearing loss to get timely access to places and services in a timely manner ..
Charming.

ANYWAY, to the OP's question, I believe CART is based off the sounds of the words whereas Typewell is based on spelling. If he's that good of a typist then Typewell might be something to look into. I did this while I was in my ITP and I just loved it. In fact now that I am not interpreting I might look into doing it again part-time as a teacher's salary ain't much...
