What is Remento, and how does it work?

Ready to turn memories into a treasured family heirloom? Your loved one's stories are waiting to be shared.

Updated over a week ago

Remento transforms spoken stories into a custom memory book, combining written narratives with QR codes that link to the original recordings. Your storyteller answers weekly prompts, and we take care of the rest—

perfect for creating a meaningful gift for an aging loved one or preserving your own life story.

What makes Remento special?

Remento solves a problem every family faces: how to preserve precious stories before they're lost forever. Unlike traditional memoir services that require extensive writing, Remento uses Speech-to-Story™ technology to transform casual recordings into polished written narratives.

Remento involves three simple steps:

  1. Record - Your storyteller speaks their memories (no writing required)

  2. Transform - Our AI turns recordings into beautifully written stories

  3. Preserve - Everything gets printed in a hardcover book with QR codes linking to original recordings

How does Remento work?

Setting up your storytelling journey

If you're gifting Remento to someone else:

  • You become the "Host" and choose the storytelling prompts

  • Your recipient becomes the "Storyteller" and records the responses

  • You can invite family members to follow along and react to stories

If you're creating your own memoir:

  • You're both the Host and Storyteller

  • You select your own prompts from our extensive library

  • You control who gets invited to see your stories

The weekly storytelling process

  • Prompt delivery. Each week, your storyteller receives a new prompt via email and text message.

  • Throughout the week: Easy recording. Your storyteller can record from any device—phone, tablet, or computer—without downloading apps or remembering passwords. Simply click the link and start talking. Recordings can be up to 30 minutes long.

  • Story transformation. Our Speech-to-Story™ technology converts the recording into a polished written narrative, removing filler words and organizing thoughts into compelling stories.

  • Instant sharing. Family members get notified when new stories are ready, creating opportunities for connection, reactions, and follow-up conversations.

Creating your keepsake book

After collecting stories throughout the year, all written narratives and photos are compiled into a stunning hardcover, color-printed book (8"x10"). Each chapter includes:

  • Written stories polished from the original recordings

  • Family photos uploaded throughout the process

  • QR codes that link to the original voice/video recordings

  • Custom cover reflecting your storyteller's personality

💡 Pro tip: The QR codes ensure that future generations can read the story AND hear their loved one's actual voice telling it.

What does a Remento Book look like?
