Adjust SlidersYour main objective on ToneADay will be to gauge the level of emotion present in snippets of text. Rate the level of emotion associated with the phrase or word based on how it makes you feel, and submit your rating. *Keep in mind you should not be adjusting all 8 emotions, most phrases will only require that 1-3 slides be adjusted. Also, be mindful of where your rating falls on the slide. “9” or “10” ratings should only be used for extremely intense phrases. |

Our system carefully monitors your ratings and compares them against others to ensure you have a strong understanding of the phrases being presented and that no spamming or rushing occurs. How well can you identify the emotional intensity of phrases in language? |
