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

Updated this week

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
