Frequently Asked Questions
How long can my recordings be? Up to 30 minutes per story. Most people share everything they want to say in 2-10 minutes, but you have plenty of time for longer, detailed stories. If you need more time, you can always continue the story in another recording.
β
I have an accent. Will the technology understand me? Absolutely. Remento's Speech-to-Storyβ’ technology works beautifully with all accents and speaking styles. Your unique voice is exactly what makes your stories special.
What if I miss a week or want to catch up? No pressure at all. Your prompts wait patiently for you. You can record multiple stories in one day or take breaks whenever you need them. The questions don't expire, and there's no "right" schedule.
What happens if I don't like how the written story turned out? You're in complete control. You can edit the written version, add details, or even re-record entirely. The Speech-to-Storyβ’ technology creates a starting point, but the final story is exactly how you want it.
