Cuescript, devised by Mary Elsie Daisey, is a system for transcribing cued language. Cuescript uses lines to depict hand configurations (i.e., handshapes) which may be placed on a line drawing of a face to show placements or with the hands depicted alone with letters placed beneath to indicate the vowel cues.
One benefit of cuescript over other systems of transcription, like cue notation, is that cuescript uses line drawings. In terms of concrete representation, line drawings of handshapes and placements require less interpretation from the viewer. When interpreting cue notation, the viewer must translate numbers to the handshapes that they serve to represent. This adds an extra layer of abstraction that is not necessary in cue script.
There are currently no computer programs or fonts that allow cuers to quickly encode cues into cuescript. This is a disadvantage over cue notation, which can be easily typed as letters and numbers from any standard keyboard.
