Abstract

A method and system for providing tone detection for a content may include receiving a request to detect a tone for a content, retrieving user data and data about the content, detecting a content environment for the content based on at least one of the user data and the data about the content, detecting the tone for the content based on the content and the content environment, inputting the content and the detected tone into a machine-learning (ML) model for modifying the tone from the detected tone to a modified tone, obtaining at least one rephrased content segment as an output from the ML model, the rephrased content segment modifying the tone of the content from the detected tone to the modified tone, and providing at least one of the detected tone or the at least one rephrased content segment for display.
