real time
This term is primarily used in technical, computing, and engineering contexts to describe systems that must respond to inputs within a strict time constraint. When used as an adjective, it describes the capability of a system to process data instantly, whereas as a noun, it refers to the actual duration of an event as it unfolds in the physical world.
In common parlance, it is often used loosely to mean "immediately" or "live," such as in "real-time updates." However, in a strict technical sense, it refers to a deterministic guarantee that a system will respond within a specific deadline, regardless of the system load.
Meanings
Occurring or being processed immediately as an event happens, without any perceptible delay.
