What is TypeWell Transcribing? 

Is it like CART (real time captioning) ? Well...sort of.  Its not verbatim word to word

but it does 'translate' meaning for meaning.

"Meaning-for-Meaning Transcription is very similar to Sign Language Interpreting. You may notice with interpreters that there is a delay in the information relayed because it takes the interpreter time to hear, understand,and then convey the meaning of the message into grammatically correct sign language. This is the exact process that a TypeWell Transcriber goes through as well. " (Source:  http://www.alldeaf.com/showthread.php?t=48691

With CART, the reporter types everything she/he hears in verbatim.  What are the advantages of

TypeWell over CART?  Generally TypeWell is less costly then CART.  Generally CART will
capture the conversation in  its entirety.  Type Well is more like conveying the meaning of the message much like sign language Interpreting.  CART types everything exactly as is spoken.   
That's why its called verbatim.
