Real-time text
Introduction
Real-time text (RTT) refers to text that is transmitted instantly as it is typed; in other words, as a continuous stream of letters or words rather than as full strings. It also known as live typing, live text, fast text, text call or streamed text.
Real-time text is used in live captioning, collaborative editors and chat software.
This website aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the history of real-time text and of the techniques and protocols used to achieve it, with a focus on its use in chat software.
