LiteralIQ

LiteralIQ helps you understand what a message actually means—beyond the words. Paste in a text, DM, email, or screenshot and get a plain-English read on the likely intent, the social pattern behind it, and what the other person is probably expecting from you.

A typical decode breaks the communication down into clear parts: the pattern name, why that pattern fits the wording (including tone cues like warmth, vagueness, and emojis), and what details to watch for. You can also use it to check a draft response before sending, so you can adjust your tone and approach.

Designed with neurodivergent communication in mind (including ADHD, autism, and dyslexia), LiteralIQ aims to reduce the guesswork that can make ambiguous messages stressful. Instead of trying to “read between the lines” on the fly, you can see the underlying social rules and start recognizing them yourself over time.

It’s free to start with no account needed and free daily reads. Premium is $9/month with unlimited reads and expanded features including a full pattern library, deeper signal detection, response craft, pattern analytics, emotional tone tracking, and the ability to save and revisit reads.

How does LiteralIQ help if I struggle with subtext?

It names the social pattern behind ambiguous wording and explains the cues driving the interpretation, so you don’t have to infer everything in real time.

Can I use LiteralIQ to review my reply before sending?

Yes—paste your draft response and see how it is likely to land, so you can adjust your tone before the conversation escalates.

Do I need to create an account to use LiteralIQ?

No account is needed to start; you can use the free daily reads.
