Watch the video: Inside the recording experience

If you are new to Remento and want to take a peek inside the recording experience, this video will show you how it works.

Updated this week

Whether you're recording your own life story or helping a loved one preserve theirs, Remento guides you through capturing meaningful memories. For those telling their own stories, you'll receive weekly prompts - simply click the link to start recording your experiences, with no need for passwords or downloads. For those gifting Remento, your storyteller will receive these same easy-to-use prompts, and you can help select questions or add family photos that spark rich memories.

When you enter the recording studio, you'll first choose between audio-only or video recording. Your device will ask permission to access your microphone (and camera if you chose video). Once you grant permission, you'll see a simple screen with your prompt and recording controls. You can record up to 30 minutes, pause anytime, and even re-record if needed. The process is designed to be as simple as possible - just click to start sharing your story.

Once any story is recorded, our Speech-To-Story™ technology transforms it into written text that's shared instantly with invited family members. These stories, along with photos, become chapters in a beautiful hardcover book where QR codes let readers play back the original recordings. Whether preserving your own journey or helping someone else tell theirs, Remento creates a lasting legacy that blends written words with authentic recorded memories.

After completing your weekly prompt, you can keep the memories flowing by choosing another story to share. Select from trending prompts that other families love, write your own custom question, tell the story behind a cherished photo, or catch up on any previous prompts you may have missed. There's always another story waiting to be told with Remento.

No matter who's sharing stories, our simple recording studio works on any device with internet access. The experience is designed to be effortless - that's why people of all ages, including those 85 and older, enjoy using Remento to share their memories with future generations.
