Real-Time Text for Inclusive Collaboration

A more inclusive way to communicate by blending real-time text with video, giving people the ability to express themselves instantly, naturally, and without barriers across any device or environment.

Problem: Traditional communication tools often fail to support people who rely on text based interactions, especially in situations where audio is not accessible, not usable, or not appropriate. Existing text systems are slow, delayed, or disconnected from live conversation, creating barriers in urgent scenarios, public environments, or for users with hearing or speech complexities. This gap results in misunderstandings, slower response times, and a limited ability to participate naturally in real time communication.

Solution: Real Time Text (RTT) transforms communication by allowing people to see text as it is being typed, character by character, paired with optional live video for richer context and expression. The experience enables more inclusive, immediate, and human communication across devices and environments. By blending real time interaction with visual cues, RTT reduces friction, accelerates understanding, and ensures that everyone can participate fully and naturally in the moment.
