How Debbie Turned Weekly Recordings Into Her Family's Most Treasured Keepsake

When Debbie's children surprised her with Remento, she thought it was just another thoughtful present. She had no idea it would become the most meaningful gift she'd ever received, or that her weekly video and audio recordings would create something her entire family would treasure forever.‍

How Weekly Story Prompts Help Debbie Unlock Hidden Memories

Debbie's family had a mission: preserve the stories that made her who she is. That's exactly why they chose Remento as her gift.

Now, each week brings Debbie a new storytelling prompt delivered straight to her email or phone. Her children take turns crafting personal questions about family history, selecting from Remento's thoughtfully curated question bank, or pairing cherished old and new photos with prompts that reveal vivid, detailed memories she hadn't shared in years.

When Debbie receives these prompts, she simply decides how she wants to respond, whether through video to capture her expressions and gestures, or audio for a more intimate storytelling experience. No special setup required, just her phone or computer and the freedom to share memories however feels most natural.

“The question prompts are incredible. It never feels like homework or a chore. It feels like opening a door to memories and sharing them naturally.”

From Simple Recordings to a Lasting Family Heirloom

What started as simple family story recordings has grown into something extraordinary. With no writing required, each of Debbie's video and audio responses gets automatically transformed into beautifully written stories using Remento's Speech-to-Story technology while preserving her original recordings.

These aren't just documented facts, they're windows into moments she hadn't thought about in decades. When she records on video, her family captures not just her words, but her expressions, her gestures, the way her eyes light up when she remembers something special. Audio recordings preserve the warmth in her voice, her laughter, and the unique rhythm of how she tells each story.

The recordings eventually become a hardcover Remento book filled with chapters of her stories, photos, and QR codes linking directly to her video and audio recordings. Her family can read her words on the page, then scan a code to watch her tell the story or listen to her voice bringing each memory to life.

“When someone opens my Remento book and scans that QR code, they will see me and hear me. They will know exactly how I felt while telling my stories. That's what makes this so amazing, this keepsake should be in every home.”

Why Debbie Calls Remento Her Family's Greatest Gift

Out of every present her children have given, Debbie is certain which one matters most.

“Remento is the number one gift my kids have ever given me. It is meaningful for them, but it is just as meaningful for me. I get to reflect on my life, record my stories, and know my family will hold them close forever.”

Every new weekly prompt adds another piece to her legacy. With time, her collection grows richer and more valuable. Each recording becomes a thread in the fabric of her family history, woven together to create something no traditional gift could ever match.
