Tell your life story, in your own time
A guided recorder asks one question at a time. You just talk into your phone, from the comfort of your own home.
There is no rush. Most people answer a section or two, then come back another day. Add old photos as you go.
No app to download
It opens straight in your web browser, on any phone, tablet or laptop.

Why record it now
One day, their voice will be the thing you miss most.
Recording at home keeps it honest. No studio, no script, just them in their own chair, telling it their way.
The hesitations, the laughter and the odd tear all stay in. That is what makes it real.

Recording at home
Do I have to do it all in one go?
No. Everything saves as you go, so you can stop at any time. When you come back, you pick up exactly where you left off.
Do I need to download an app?
No. Everything works in your web browser, so you simply open the link we send you. All you need is a phone, tablet or laptop. The microphone built into your phone or tablet is perfect. A quiet room helps, but no special equipment is needed.
Can I skip a question?
Yes. You can skip any question, and come back to it later if you change your mind.
Can I record for more than one person?
Yes. Add extra storytellers for £20 each, either when you book or later from your account.
Can the family help?
Yes. Send the family their own link, and they can ask the questions they would love answered. They are also welcome to sit alongside the storyteller.
