The conversion runs locally in your browser, so your text never leaves your device.

Tone Changer
Overview
What does Tone Changer do?
Paste your text and the tool returns two versions: a formal rewrite that expands contractions (gonna → going to) and a casual rewrite that relaxes formal words (however → but). You pick the version that fits your audience.
It is a vocabulary-level tone shift, not a full stylistic rewrite.
Under the hood
How does it work?
The tool applies two fixed substitution sets. The formal pass replaces casual words with standard ones; the casual pass does the reverse. Both versions are generated from the same input and shown together.

Real example
Example
Before (input)
Yeah, I'm gonna check that, but the report is fine.
After (tone shift)
Formal Yes, I am going to check that, but the report is fine. Casual Yeah, I'm gonna check that, but the report is fine.
The formal pass expands contractions; the casual pass keeps them.
Technical information
How the details work
Two case-insensitive substitution tables are applied to the same input: formal swaps like gonna→going to and yeah→yes, and casual swaps like going to→gonna, yes→yeah, and however→but. Both outputs are displayed together.
