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.
