Frequently Asked Questions
What is Remento?
Remento is a voice-first storytelling solution designed to capture life stories through spoken narratives – no writing required. Its core workflow involves selecting weekly prompts from a curated library (or adding custom questions) and having the storyteller record responses. Remento’s proprietary “Speech-to-Story technology automatically transcribes and lightly rewrites these recordings into coherent written stories (unless the user opts to publish the spoken words verbatim). Family collaborators can then review and edit the text, add photos, and arrange the content into chapters using Remento’s dashboard. When ready, Remento prints a premium hardcover book containing all the stories, each accompanied by a QR code that links to the original recorded audio/video (so readers can scan the code to hear the storyteller’s voice).
What is StoryKeeper?
StoryKeeper is a flexible memory-preservation platform that supports both voice and written storytelling, transforming either type of input into a beautifully printed book. Users can choose between two modes: “Record & Relive” (record stories by voice or video, and let the system write it for you) or “Write It Yourself” (type your stories or use voice-to-text dictation).
