T.140 Realtime Text

From WikiPedia:

Text over IP (or ToIP) is a means of providing a real-time text service that operates over IP-based networks. It complements Voice over IP (VoIP) and Video over IP.

Real-time text is defined in ITU-T Multimedia Recommendation F.700 2.1.2.1 . Real-time text is designed for conversational use where people interactively converse with each other. To achieve this, particular user requirements have been specified for the delay of each character and the character loss rate (see F.700 Annex A.3).

Real-time text provides a quite different user experience from Instant Messaging (IM). Real-time Text and IM (and email) are complementary text services with different capabilities.
