Your message is only as effective as its delivery. The same words can sound supportive, demanding, or inspiring depending on their tone. Rune's AI Rephraser gives you precise control over tone, letting you tailor your writing to any audience.

The Four Tone Options

1. Formal

Best For: Business emails, official reports, legal documents, professional correspondence.

Characteristics:

  • Uses complete sentences (no contractions)

  • Employs sophisticated vocabulary

  • Maintains objectivity

  • Follows traditional grammar rules

Example:

  • Input: "You should check out our new product."

  • Output (Formal): "We would like to invite you to review our recently launched product."

2. Friendly

Best For: Blog posts, social media captions, casual emails, customer service replies.

Characteristics:

  • Uses conversational language

3. Academic

  • Third-person perspective

  • Passive voice where appropriate

  • Citations-friendly structure

4. Persuasive

When Tone Matters

Mismatched T Opportunity

Imagine sending a "Friendly" email to a senior executive expecting a formal update. Or writing "Academic" copy for a fun social media campaign. The message might be accurate, but the impact is lost.

The Right Tone Builds Trust

When your reader feels like you "get" them, they're more likely to engage. A student reading scholarly language feels respected. A customer reading friendly support feels valued.
