Description
Compare quotation voice labels and recognize a supplied distance marker.
Scholarly annotation can preserve term senses, agent roles and source frames using explicit labels. Literal agreement, a recognized marker or an unambiguous record key organizes those assertions without establishing their meaning, truth or scholarly authority.
Compare quotation voice labels and recognize a supplied distance marker.
When to use this tool
Use Quotation Voice Distance Marker when checking one explicit annotation, marker or source-identity convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter speaker, quotedSpeaker, suppliedDistance, allowedDistances. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read sameVoice, recognizedDistance. Inspect sameVoice, recognizedDistance before interpreting the associated values.
Compare quotation voice labels and recognize a supplied distance marker. sameVoice uses literal speaker equality; recognizedDistance tests suppliedDistance membership in allowedDistances.1

}Limitations and assumptions
- No actual voice, irony, theoretical distance or attribution is inferred from these caller-supplied tokens.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Inspect the source text and interpretive framework for substantive analysis; use source-aware annotation and bibliographic tools for complete records.
