Real-time text is when you see the words someone is typing or speaking appear on the screen at the same time. It's like a really fast conversation where you don't have to wait for the other person to finish talking before you can start typing. This is really helpful for people who are deaf or hard of hearing, because they can read what someone is saying instead of having to listen to it. It's also good for people who can't talk or speak very well because they can type what they want to say. So, real-time text is like talking to someone, but on a screen in real-time.
