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 ..

And CART is not appropriate in all situations. Terps are still necessary when 2 way communication is desired. But that is beside the point.
A CART transcriber is
not a court reporter. Simply having the same skills does not mean that a CART transcriber is a court reporter or that a court reporter is a CART transcriber. One transcribes to faccilate access to information. The other documents for historical record.
