Cue Interpreter helps people understand facial expressions, gestures, posture, and other visual aspects of nonverbal communication. Point the camera toward the interaction and receive a clear, accessible interpretation of visible cues. Cue Interpreter is especially useful for blind, low-vision, autistic, and other users who may benefit from additional context during social interactions. Interpretations are informational and may be incomplete or inaccurate. The app does not determine a person’s thoughts, intentions, or medical or emotional condition.
