Tone Indicators


NAME

tone - Tone Indicators

DESCRIPTION

Tone is what a phrase or statement means or comes across as despite what it’s actually saying. Examples of tone could be serious, joking, lighthearted, etc. Tone indicators are things you can include with text to indicate what the tone of it is. Some people have difficulty picking up on tone. Communicating through text only makes this harder due to lack of audio and physical cues (voice inflection, body language, facial expressions, etc.). Tagging what tone you are using can be very helpful for others’ understanding of what you’re saying, clarification, avoiding miscommunications, etc. Tone indicators can be used any time of place you may be communicating through text.
