Ask HN: Service that rephrases rude tone from my sister’s abusive ex husband

1 pointsfrogger82y ago2 comments

Co-parenting as separated or divorced couples is hard and more difficult when your spouse is abusive. Note my sister has a protective order.

If she could use an iOS service to rephrase her ex husband’s texts it would make a big difference in her life. Thoughts? Willing to pay up to $200 month for this if necessary.

There's actually an entire genre here, sort of!

The key is, you do not "rephrase texts". You get a court order REQUIRING all communications to go through an app that can be monitored by the court for compliance with the protective order:

Otherwise... Honestly, the people who should be rephrasing the messages are quite possibly the police, depending on the terms of the protective order, but if the messages are that upsetting... Once you already have the protective order, the next step is enforcing it. Sorry.

(I am not a lawyer and cannot give legal advice. I heard about the program from a person I know who worked on it, which got me curious about the existence of such things.)

Thank you! Their tone meter is just what is needed.
