Between the Lines Advanced HD 2.4

Hamaguchi Apps for Speech, Language & Auditory Development presents a pioneering iPad app tailored for adolescents and adults seeking to enhance their ability to interpret vocal intonation, facial expressions, body language, and idiomatic or slang expressions. Through authentic photographs, voices, and brief video clips showcasing diverse social scenarios and expressions, this app offers an interactive approach to comprehend nuanced communication cues that traditional resources like worksheets and static flashcards cannot adequately replicate. The app is grounded in American language and body language.

For additional insights, a demo of the app can be viewed on YouTube: Demo Video

For simpler exercises aimed at a slightly younger audience, explore the Between the Lines Level 1 and Level 2 apps available in the App Store.

The app boasts 65-75 tasks in each of its three core activities:

1. Listening: Users listen to a voice utter a sentence in various emotional tones and inflections. Subsequently, users match the vocal expression with the corresponding facial expression displayed in a series of photographs.
2. Body Language: Brief video clips illustrate interactions or situations requiring users to interpret non-verbal cues. Users select the response that aligns with the observed facial expression or body language.
3. Expressions: Users watch short video clips featuring actors delivering sentences containing idiomatic or slang expressions. Subsequently, users are prompted to decipher the meaning of these expressions.

The app caters to individual users or group play, with performance metrics provided to track progress across different activities. Users are empowered to customize settings according to their preferences while maintaining consistent settings within group sessions.

Optional features include progress tracking, automatic or manual advancement, and choice display settings. Occasional reward animations such as Dunk Tank, Bull’s Eye (darts), and Shoot the Basket offer light-hearted breaks during gameplay.
