Text Tone Converter

What It Does

• Takes any original message or draft as input.
• Converts it into a target tone such as professional, friendly, direct, premium, or bold.
• Returns a primary rewrite, a shorter version, and an alternative version.
• Also includes notes about what changed in the tone.
• Shows the final result inside a focused modal popup for fast copying.

Setup

1. Open functions/config.local.php.
2. Add your OpenAI API key to openai_api_key.
3. Keep or change the default model in openai_model.
4. Optional: add adsense_client and adsense_sidebar_slot to activate the right sidebar ad area.
5. Make sure PHP curl is available on the server.
6. Load /TextToneConverter/ in your browser through MAMP.

How To Use

1. Paste the original text.
2. Select the target tone, intent, and format.
3. Add optional context or a communication goal.
4. Click Convert Tone.
5. Review and copy the result from the popup modal.

Folder Structure

• index.php – main UI entry point
• css/style.css – interface styling
• js/app.js – browser-side interactions and modal flow
• functions/lib.php – converter logic, OpenAI requests, validation, rate limiting
• functions/api.php – backend API endpoint
• functions/config.local.php – local API key, model, and ad settings
• storage/logs – error and debug logs

Security Notes

• The functions and storage folders are protected with .htaccess.
• Requests use a CSRF token.
• A simple file-based rate limit reduces abuse without a database.

Troubleshooting

• If conversion fails, check functions/config.local.php for the API key.
• If the API returns an error, inspect the generated log file under storage/logs.
• If the popup does not open, make sure JavaScript is enabled.
• If folder protection does not work, make sure Apache allows .htaccess overrides.
