View source for Real-time text

'''Real-time text''' ('''RTT''') is text transmitted instantly as it is typed or created. Recipients can immediately read the message while it is being written, without waiting.

Real-time text is used for conversational text, in collaboration, and in live captioning. 

Technologies include:

* TDD/TTY devices for the deaf
* Live captioning for TV
* A feature enhancement in [[instant messaging]]
* Captioning for telephony/video teleconferencing
* Telecommunications relay services including [[ip-relay]]
* Transcription services including Remote CART
* TypeWell
* Collaborative text editing
* Streaming text applications
* Next-generation 9-1-1/1-1-2 emergency service. 

During 2012, the Real-Time Text Taskforce (R3TF) designed a standard international symbol to represent real-time text, as well as the alternate name '''Fast Text''' to improve public education of the technology.
