What do I do if I see a "Story processing..." screen?

What "Story processing" means

When you finish recording a story, Remento's Speech-to-Story™ technology gets to work transforming your recording into a beautifully written narrative. During this process, you'll see a "Story processing..." screen.

Normally, this takes:

  • Audio recordings: 2-5 minutes

  • Video recordings: 5-10 minutes

  • Longer recordings: Up to 15 minutes for 20+ minute stories

When processing gets stuck

Sometimes recordings can get stuck in processing for longer than expected. This can happen due to:

  • Audio quality issues - Background noise or very quiet recordings

  • Technical glitches - Temporary server or connection issues

  • High system load - During busy periods when many people are recording

What to do if your story stays "processing"

⏰ Wait 30 minutes first

Give the system time to complete processing, especially for longer recordings or during busy periods.

🔄 Try these quick fixes:

  1. Refresh your browser page - Sometimes the display gets stuck while the processing is completed

  2. Check your Stories page - Your story might have processed successfully, but the screen didn't update

  3. Try a different device or browser - Access your account from another device to see if the story appears

📧 Contact support for stuck recordings

If your story is still processing after 30 minutes, let our customer support team know immediately.
​

Preventing processing issues

  • Use a stable internet connection while recording

  • Close other browser tabs to free up memory

  • Keep your browser updated for the best compatibility
