Virtual vocal dynamics in written exchange

A computer implemented method for providing context in an electronic text communication, the method comprising:

• setting a criteria for rendering metrics;
• storing the criteria for rendering the metrics;
• responsive to receiving a set of metrics and the electronic text communication from a sending data processing system, retrieving the criteria for rendering the metrics, wherein the set of metrics are generated based on a sender of the electronic text communication interacting with a biometric gathering input device during the generation of the electronic text communication;
• and
• responsive to retrieving the criteria, presenting the electronic text communication and the set of metrics using the criteria for rendering the metrics, wherein presenting the electronic text communication provides context to the electronic text communication.

A computer program product in a computer comprising:

• a computer usable medium including computer usable program code for providing context in an electronic text communication, said computer program product comprising:
• computer usable program code for identifying a first set of metrics based on a sender interacting with a biometric gathering input device, wherein the biometric gathering input device is associated with a sending data processing system;
• computer usable program code for calibrating a sending communications process on the sending data processing system based on the first set of metrics;
• computer usable program code for identifying a portion of the first set of metrics based on the sender interacting with the biometric gathering input device during generation of the electronic text communication to form a second set of metrics;
• and
• computer usable program code for sending the second set of metrics and the electronic text communication from the sending communications process on the sending data processing system to a recipient data processing system, wherein the second set of metrics is represented at the recipient data processing system using criteria selected by a recipient of the electronic text communication.
