This project began as a 'what if' experiment to imagine if software could measure conversational tone in real time.

It uses Watson Speech to Text and Watson Tone Analyzer.

The objective of the project is to sample and visualize the emotion in an ongoing conversation

Clicking on the record button should open your computers microphone. If you speak aloud, your words will be written on the green rectangle (grille) area of the app.

After a minute or so of continual spoken words, the tone analyzer should be able to feed back emotional strengh and a line graph will plot in the area at the top of the app.

Alternatively, you can press the play button, and listen to a prerecorded message ( Watson Text to Speech )

There are also controls to toggle between the different measurement approaches Watson Tone Analyzer offers.
