A sign language interpreter is a person trained in translating between a spoken and a signed language. This usually means someone who interprets what is being said and signs it for someone who can't hear, but understands sign.

Real-Time Captioning is also referred to as Communication Access Real-time Translation (CART). CART simultaneously converts the spoken word immediately into a verbatim text translation using captioning equipment and computer software. The translation appears on a screen for deaf and hard of hearing clients to follow along with a meeting or presentation.

A Computer Assisted Notetaker (CAN) uses a computer equipped with word processing software to type summary notes of a meeting or lecture. The notes can be displayed on a computer screen or projected onto a screen or wall for large groups.
