How Audiobiography works

  • 1. Record

    Audiobiography is a self-paced interviewer. We ask nearly one hundred thought provoking questions in our easy-to-use software to open up memories and re-live experiences. Log in from any device (phone, tablet, laptop). No app required. Recording is unlimited and you can add as many new chapters as you'd like beyond our prompts. Bonus points: add unlimited photos with captions to any story.

  • 2. Share

    Like a podcast, your Audiobiography can be shared for free with family and friends worldwide. No app required, no cost, no fees or subscriptions. Just tap and share via text, email, or social media. Your entire Audiobiography can also be downloaded allowing you to upload audio stories, transcriptions, and more to other platforms.

  • 3. Print

    Every audio recording is transcribed automatically, real-time. Edit transcriptions on the fly. Add captions to your photos. Then publish your book. We print and ship your first copy for free. Our books are linen hardback, perfect for any bookshelf. Alongside every story is a QR code. Scan with a phone camera and press play to hear the author in their own voice.

Gifting made simple

Audiobiography starts as a digital interview and becomes a beautiful hardback book, shipped for free. It's a stunning gift.

Immediately after purchase, we send a link to your inbox. Open the link to either print an access certificate, or share the link via email or text. If you choose to print the certificate, your loved one will scan the unique QR code with their phone camera to begin their story. If you send the link via email or text, they'll simply click to begin. There are no additional payments, and their first printed book is free.

Give The Best Gift

Audio first, always

Hearing someone's voice makes it feel as if they're still with you, even when they're gone. Do you have a voicemail or even just a contact in your phone of someone who is gone? If so, then the following is true: You will never delete that voicemail and you will never erase that contact, because even the idea of hearing their voice again is too powerful to let go.

This was our fundamental insight in 2018 when we started building Audiobiography. Nothing could compare to the human voice, so why not capture and connect it across generations? Why not be audio first? Since then, we have layered in transcription, unlimited photos, and a full printed copy of the entire experience. Which makes Audiobiography something unique (and oddly difficult to explain).

It's their voice, yes. But it's also their words in print. It's also visual with photos which you hear the author describe. It's also something you can hold. Actually. Hold. In your hands. And place on a shelf for others to see and hold and experience. But it's far more than just a keepsake. When you crack the cover, you hear the author speak to you in their own voice. Audiobiography bridges generations of loved ones in ways that have never been achieved before. In an increasingly AI world, it stands apart as pure, authentic, and real.

We're proud of what we're creating here. If you're not delighted with Audiobiography, we'll make it right no matter what. We hope you'll set off on this priceless journey either for yourself, or as a gift to someone you love. We'll be right there with you.

Common Questions

How long can each recording be?

Although Audiobiography is unlimited, each recorded segment can be 15 minutes long. As you reach 14 minutes you'll see a countdown begin. If you reach the 15 minute mark, the recording will automatically save. To record more, simply start a new recording segment. You can add any number of recording segments per story.

Can more than one person collaborate?

Yes, Audiobiography has the notion of co-owners. This means you can add any number of additional email addresses to an Audiobiography, giving each the same access and capabilities as the owner of the account. This is useful for two reasons: First, collaboration. Second, longevity. This allows loved ones to include additional email addresses so the content can be managed long-term.

Can I download my Audiobiography?

Yes. If you're inside your book, below the cover you'll see a gear icon. Click to open some basic book settings. At the bottom of the settings page you'll see a button to download your book.

How do I order the physical copy?

If you scroll to the bottom of your book you'll see an option to print. Simply click there to proceed. Your first copy is free. Once we receive the request to print, we'll email a proof to you for your approval. Once approved your book will go into production and ship to you within about three weeks.

Can I order more than one physical copy?

Yes. Your first copy is free, but you can order any number of copies now, and into the future. Those who you have shared your Audiobiography with will also have the ability to purchase a copy at any time.

Can I upload existing audio files?

Yes. From inside any given chapter of your book, you'll see a record button, a button to add photos, and then three vertical dots. Click there to view more options. One of those options is to upload an audio file. Uploaded audio files can be any length.

Does transcription happen automatically?

It sure does. Normally within about 15 seconds of finishing an audio recording you'll see the transcription appear. Click inside the transcription to edit or make changes. You can always re-transcribe as well.

Is there a time limit to finish my Audiobiography once I start?

No. You can work on an Audiobiography indefinitely with no constraints on time whatsoever. Come back to add new chapters at any time, or answer questions you haven't yet. This is an entirely self-paced process with no limits.

How do I gift Audiobiography?

We make this super simple. When you purchase an Audiobiography, a link will be delivered to your inbox within seconds. Click to open up our start page. On that page by default is a unique gift certificate. You can print the certificate and give it to a loved one. When they receive it they'll simply scan with their phone camera to begin. Or you can send the link directly to them (text or email is normally best) in which case they will simply click to begin.

What device should I use to work on my Audiobiography?

The beauty of Audiobiography is there is no app to install and you can access it and work on it from any connected device with a microphone. Most people use their phone because it's simple and on them all the time. But many use computers, laptops, or tablets. You can move seamlessly between devices no problem. Do you have pictures on an old laptop? No problem, just login and work from there for a time. Attach your pics, and then move back to your phone, etc. It's very simple and seamless to move among devices.
