How to record stories on Remento
Whether recording your own life story or helping a loved one to record, Remento's Recording Studio is a guided experience. For those telling their own stories, you'll receive story prompts via email or text message - 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.
To begin recording, users can also tap the green 'Share my story' button included in an email or text message prompt. This provides another way to conveniently initiate the recording process.
You can access the recording studio by either logging into your private Remento website (https://web.remento.co/), or by finding the recording link in a recent email or text message.
When you enter the recording studio, you can choose to record with audio-only or with video. Your device will ask permission to access your microphone (and camera if you selected video).
Once you grant permission, you'll see a screen with your prompt and the big, green "Start recording" button.
You can record for up to 30 minutes, pause and resume, and even re-record if needed.
When you are done recording, you can select "Stop" and you'll be guided to review and submit your recording.
From here, you can choose to record another story, or take a moment to celebrate! You did a great job and you're all done until your next prompt arrives 🎉

What happens after recording?
Once any story is recorded, our Speech-To-StoryTM technology transforms it into written text that's shared instantly with invited family members. These stories, along with the photo, 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.
