Audiobiography

Give your parent or grandparent a simple way to tell their life story in their own voice, so your family can hear them share the memories that matter for years to come. They simply talk into the phone they already have, at their own pace, which feels more natural than typing out answers and far less pressure than being on camera.

Here is how it works. Nearly 100 thoughtful questions guide them through their life, and they just tap record to answer each one with no writing or typing required. Recording is unlimited, they can add photos and their own questions, and every recording is automatically transcribed. Their stories can be shared for free with loved ones anywhere in the world by text, email, or social media.

When their story is ready, it prints into a beautiful hardback Interactive Legacy Book with the transcriptions, their photos, and a QR code beside every story, so you can scan the page and hear them tell it themselves. The first copy of the book is free.

You can choose either delivery option at the same price. With Instant Digital Delivery, a unique link arrives in your email right away, which makes it easy to forward to someone who lives far away. With Mail Physical Certificate, we send you a professionally printed access certificate with a unique QR code at no extra charge, which gives you something to wrap or hand over in person.

A few helpful details for the gift giver:
