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.
