Classify text overall tone from a custom word lexicon

This overall tone classifier measures a piece of writing against a lexicon that you control.

● BetaFree · in your browser

Use it from WebAPIEmailTelegramApp soon

Supply word lists for formal, casual, urgent, and friendly language, and the classifier counts whole-word matches without using a model or making a network request. It returns the dominant tone, per-tone counts, the words that matched, a confidence share, and whether a requested default was used. Because the same input and lexicon always produce the same result, the output is suitable for repeatable editorial checks, routing rules, and tests.
