The Best Memory Book for Family Stories

We create countless memories over the course of a long life. Some become beloved family stories told over and over, while others stay quietly in the back of our minds, just waiting for the right question to unlock them. At Remento, we give families the easiest way to preserve their most meaningful stories in custom memory books without writing a single word. Our beautiful, full-color hardcover books feature QR codes that bring stories to life, allowing you to read the words on the page or scan the code to hear the memories told in your loved one's voice. With our innovative Speech-to-Story technology, Remento is transforming how families capture and preserve their stories for generations to come.

What Is a Memory Book?

A memory book brings a family's stories, photos, and cherished memories together in a hardcover keepsake. Unlike traditional memory books that require writing, Remento creates memory books through recorded storytelling. Your loved one simply speaks their memories aloud, and our Speech-to-Story technology automatically transforms those recordings into beautifully written stories, all compiled into a stunning hardcover book that preserves both their words and their voice forever.

How Remento Helps You Create a Memory Book

With Remento, it's incredibly easy to create a personalized memory book that captures the story of a life without any writing required. It's the perfect gift for a parent or grandparent whose stories and voice you want to preserve in their own words. Or get it for yourself to share your own history with your children and grandchildren in a meaningful way.

While one storyteller shares their memories through weekly recordings, the whole family can get involved by choosing prompts, uploading photos, and listening to new stories as they're shared. At the end of the year, all the recorded stories are compiled into a hardcover, color-printed book featuring QR codes that link to the original recordings. Our customization options let you create a unique memory book that will leave a lasting legacy for the whole family to treasure.

The Gift That Writes Itself

What makes Remento special is that the memory book truly writes itself. There's no homework for your loved one and no time-consuming editing for you. Your storyteller simply records their response to thoughtful prompts each week, and Remento handles the rest. The result is a collection of authentic stories written in their own voice, preserved forever in both text and audio.

How Remento Works

Creating a memory book with Remento is simple and requires no technical expertise. Start by purchasing Remento for yourself or a loved one for $99. You'll get a full year of weekly storytelling prompts, access to our Speech-to-Story technology, and one credit for a beautiful hardcover book.

When your storytelling journey begins, your loved one will receive an email and text with their first prompt. From any device and without any downloads, logins, or passwords, they simply record their answer using audio or video. Some of the prompts they receive are hand-picked by family members, while others are selected by Remento's expert-curated question bank.

Weekly Storytelling Made Simple

Every week, your storyteller will receive a new, thought-provoking prompt designed to unlock meaningful memories. Our prompts range from childhood adventures to life lessons, from stories behind cherished photos to reflections on family traditions. The experience is designed with older generations in mind, making it simple for anyone to participate regardless of their comfort level with technology.

Family members can collaborate by uploading photos, suggesting custom prompts, and sending reactions to recordings. This creates an ongoing connection throughout the year as new stories are discovered and shared.

Speech-to-Story Technology

Our innovative Speech-to-Story technology is what sets Remento apart from other memory book services. When your loved one records their response to a prompt, our AI transforms their spoken words into polished, written stories. You can choose between cleaned-up transcripts or beautifully crafted narrative summaries that capture the essence of their memories.

The Final Memory Book

At the end of the year, all the stories, photos, and memories are compiled into a stunning hardcover, color-printed book. But this isn't just any book. Each chapter features QR codes that you can scan with your smartphone to hear the original recording used to write that story. This unique feature means future generations can not only read your loved one's stories but also experience their voice, laughter, and the emotions behind each memory.

The books are 8" x 10" hardcover volumes, professionally printed in vibrant color. Books up to 200 pages are included in your subscription, with longer books available for an additional fee. Additional copies can be ordered for $69 each, making it easy to share this precious keepsake with the entire family.

• Busy families who want a meaningful way to connect across generations
• Anyone looking for a heartfelt, lasting gift that creates new family traditions
