  1. It depends. The standard rule in English is that if the term is simply a noun modified by a verb, there is no hyphen. Example: I do the dishes in real time.

    If the term is used as an adjective to modify something else, there is a hyphen: Doing the dishes is a real-time activity.

    "Realtime" is a German formation, not an English one.
