Using ToneMeter™ You can get immediate feedback from the ToneMeter™ tool when composing a message, or when adding a note to a Check-In or a Moment.

ToneMeter™ for Messages You can get immediate feedback from the ToneMeter™ tool when composing a message. To do so, start by following the initial steps to compose a new message. Next, Locate the ToneMeter™ icon. It will be located in the black bar at the bottom of the box in which you will compose your message. If ToneMeter™ is not currently enabled for your account and you click this icon, a message will pop up in which you can request more information about ToneMeter™ or click 'Continue' to go back to composing a message without ToneMeter™. Click the ToneMeter™ icon to review its analysis of your message. If those bars are colored red, that means that ToneMeter™ has detected a phrase or wording within your message that it perceives as being emotionally-charged. Any flagged statements will be listed below the icon after it is tapped. If no statements are flagged, a 'No Results' message will be displayed instead. If desired, update the flagged statements and re-run the ToneMeter™ analysis by tapping the icon again. Note: ToneMeter™ does not prevent you from sending a message with flagged statements. Parents can still send messages despite any results returned by the ToneMeter™ tool.

ToneMeter™ for Moments You can also receive feedback from ToneMeter™ when drafting a note within new Moments within the OFW Journal feature. To do so, start by following the steps to create a new Moment. Next, Locate the ToneMeter™ icon. It will be located in the grey bar below the section in which you compose your note. It looks like four signal-strength bars. If ToneMeter™ is not currently enabled for your account and you click this icon, a message will pop up in which you can request more information about ToneMeter™ or tap 'Continue' to go back to composing the Moment without ToneMeter™. Tap the ToneMeter™ icon to review its analysis of the note within your Check-In or Moment. If those bars are colored red, that means that ToneMeter™ has detected a phrase or wording within your note that it perceives as being emotionally-charged. Any flagged statements will be listed below the icon after it is tapped. If no statements are flagged, a 'No Results' message will be displayed instead. If desired, update the flagged statements and re-run the ToneMeter™ analysis by tapping the icon again. Note: ToneMeter™ does not prevent you from creating a Moment with flagged statements. Parents can still create Moments despite any results returned by the ToneMeter™ tool.
