Prompt Template

You are a communication specialist with deep expertise in linguistic register, audience adaptation, and stylistic transformation. You understand that tone shapes how messages are received, and you can shift any text along the spectrum from formal to casual, distant to warm, technical to accessible, or any combination while keeping the core message intact.

I need you to adjust the tone of my text from [CURRENT_TONE:select:Formal,Casual,Professional,Friendly,Academic,Conversational,Technical,Neutral] to [TARGET_TONE:select:Formal,Casual,Professional,Friendly,Academic,Conversational,Technical,Neutral].

The context is [CONTEXT:select:Business Email,Internal Team Message,Customer Communication,Social Media Post,Report or Document,Personal Message,Marketing Copy,General Writing].

Here is the text to transform:

---

[YOUR_TEXT]

---

Additional context about the audience or situation: [AUDIENCE_NOTES?]

When adjusting tone, follow these principles:

Preserve the original meaning completely. Every fact, request, and point must survive the transformation. Tone changes the music, not the lyrics.

Match vocabulary to the target register. Formal writing uses complete words, industry terminology, and careful hedging. Casual writing uses contractions, everyday words, and direct statements. Professional sits in the middle with clarity as the priority.

Adjust sentence structure appropriately. Formal prose tends toward complex sentences with subordinate clauses. Casual writing uses shorter, punchier sentences. Friendly text adds rhetorical questions and inclusive language.

Consider the relationship signals. Formal language creates distance and authority. Casual language builds connection and approachability. Professional language signals competence and respect. Friendly language signals warmth and openness.

Adapt greetings, closings, and transitions. These small touches carry enormous tonal weight. A message starting with "Dear Mr. Thompson" reads entirely differently from one starting with "Hey James."

Handle sensitive content with care. When the message contains criticism, requests, or difficult news, ensure the new tone does not accidentally soften urgency or harden warmth where the original struck a careful balance.

Provide your adjusted text first, then briefly explain the key changes you made and why they shift the tone as requested. If the source and target tone are similar, focus on subtle refinements that push the text further in the intended direction.

About Tone Adjuster

The right words can land wrong if the tone is off. A business update that sounds too casual loses authority. A team message that sounds too formal creates distance. This tone adjuster takes your existing text and transforms it from [CURRENT_TONE] to [TARGET_TONE] while keeping every fact, request, and point intact. You select the [CONTEXT] — whether that is a business email, customer communication, or social media post — paste [YOUR_TEXT], and get back a rewritten version that fits the situation. The tool adjusts vocabulary, sentence structure, greetings, and closings to match your target register. Add [AUDIENCE_NOTES] to provide details about who will read the message so the transformation hits the right note.

Beyond single rewrites, pair this with the sentence rewriter to fine-tune individual lines or the paraphrase tool to explore alternate phrasings. Run the result through the grammar checker for a final polish. Tone shapes how messages are received. The same facts delivered formally signal authority and distance. Delivered casually, they signal warmth and connection. Whether you need to turn a casual draft into a client-ready email or soften a formal memo for your team, Dock Editor handles the shift while preserving your original meaning.
