A method supporting content creation includes providing a content creation software product with a tone tool, receiving, by the tone tool, an expected tone range for a parameter of tone, receiving content, evaluating, by the tone tool, each of a plurality of portions of the content to determine a tone of the respective portions of the content, comparing the tone of each of the plurality of portions of the content to the expected tone range for the parameter, and providing, by the tone tool, at least one proposed modification of the content affecting a change in the tone of at least one of the portions of the content.

Claims (42)

1. A method supporting content creation comprising:

providing a content creation software product with a tone tool;

receiving, by the tone tool, an expected tone range for a parameter of tone;

receiving content;

evaluating, by the tone tool, each of a plurality of portions of the content to determine a tone of the respective portions of the content;

comparing the tone of each of the plurality of portions of the content to the expected tone range for the parameter;

highlighting a selected one of the portions of the content;

displaying the tone determined for the selected one of the portions of the content; and

providing, by the tone tool, at least one proposed modification of the content affecting a change in the tone of the selected one of the portions of the content,

wherein providing the at least one proposed modification comprises:

displaying the at least one proposed modification of the content in a user interface element of the content creation software product;

receiving a selection of the at least one proposed modification of the content; and

affecting the at least one proposed modification of the content.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein displaying the at least one proposed modification further comprises displaying an analytical tone type associated with each of the proposed modifications.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the expected tone range for the parameter comprises:

displaying a matrix;

receiving input populating the matrix with at least one parameter including the parameter; and

receiving input populating the matrix with an upper value and a lower value for each of the at least one parameter.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying a plurality of proposed modifications, including the at least one proposed modification, of the selected one of the portions of the content with an analytical tone type.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one proposed modification is predetermined to modify the tone of the selected portion of the content to be within the expected tone range for the parameter.

6. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions which when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform a method of for publishing content using a tone tool, the method comprising:

providing a content creation software product with a tone tool;

receiving, by the tone tool, an expected tone range for a parameter of tone;

receiving content;

evaluating, by the tone tool, each of a plurality of portions of the content to determine a tone of the respective portions of the content;

comparing the tone of each of the plurality of portions of the content to the expected tone range for the parameter;

highlighting a selected one of the portions of the content;

displaying the tone determined for the selected one of the portions of the content; and

providing, by the tone tool, at least one proposed modification of the content affecting a change in the tone of the selected one of the portions of the content,

wherein providing the at least one proposed modification comprises:

displaying the at least one proposed modification of the content in a user interface element of the content creation software product;

receiving a selection of the at least one proposed modification of the content; and

affecting the at least one proposed modification of the content.

7. The computer readable medium of claim 6 , wherein displaying the at least one proposed modification further comprises displaying an analytical tone type associated with each of the proposed modifications.

8. The computer readable medium of claim 6 , wherein receiving the expected tone range for the parameter comprises:

displaying a matrix;

receiving input populating the matrix with the parameter; and
