About Memoir
Memoir turns a loved one's life story into a real audiobook in their own voice — a warm biographer gently interviews them, and we produce it into a finished audiobook your family keeps forever.
What we do
A warm, patient biographer calls your loved one and asks about their life — where they came from, the people they've loved, the hard times and how they came through, and the wisdom they'd want to pass on. They simply talk, at their own pace. We then edit those conversations, add music, weave in their photographs, and deliver a beautifully finished audiobook on a private family page to keep and share.
It is their real voice telling their real stories, gently produced. Nothing is faked or replaced. Keeping their actual voice, forever, is the whole point.
Who it's for
Memoir is made for families who want to preserve a parent's or grandparent's stories and voice before it's too late — and it's built especially for people who aren't comfortable with technology. There's one button and a friendly voice: no apps, no menus, nothing to learn. If a call ever drops, nothing is lost — the biographer picks up right where they left off.
How it works
- Set up in about five minutes. Choose a biographer's voice, add a few photographs, and tell us who your loved one is.
- They talk. The biographer calls and gently interviews them — relaxed, unhurried sessions, usually about twenty minutes, saved as they go. They can pause and come back whenever they like.
- We produce it. We edit out filler and background noise, add music, and turn the conversations into a finished audiobook in their own voice — on a private family listening page to keep and share.
What it costs
One payment, no subscription — priced by recording time, with a full year to record and the freedom to move up a plan anytime.
Your stories are private
- Recordings are stored privately and encrypted.
- Only you, the people you share your link with, and the small Memoir team who produce your memoir can listen.
- Your stories are used only to make your memoir — never sold, never used for advertising.
- Ask us any time and we'll delete everything.
