How RecordTheirStory works
You set it up in minutes. They answer at their own pace, from the comfort of the couch. We turn it into a keepsake that plays their voice on every page.

1
Create a book & choose questions
Sign up as the organizer and start a book. Begin with our 40 guided questions across eight chapters of life — or add, remove, reorder, and write your own.
-
2
Invite your storyteller
Send your parent a simple link. No app to install, no password to remember — it just opens on their phone or tablet and shows one big question at a time.
-
3
They tell their stories
One question at a time, recorded as video, whenever they feel like it. They can pause, come back, and re-record as often as they want.
-
4
We transcribe & gently clean
Each answer is transcribed and lightly tidied so it reads beautifully on the page — while always preserving their words, their phrasing, and their voice. The original is never lost.
-
5
Review, add photos & order
Read each answer side by side with the original, make any edits, add photos, and approve. Then order your heirloom-quality hardcover.

6
Keep it forever
Every page carries a QR code. Scan it and the original video plays — for you now, and for generations to come.
Why families love it
Their voice, preserved
Photos are silent. We keep the sound of their laugh and the way they pause before a story they love — never over-polished.
A real, printed book
An heirloom hardcover you can hold, shelve, and pass down — not a file lost in a phone.
Built to last
The QR codes are designed to never break. Year-one hosting is included, and we never delete your videos.
Someday you'll wish you'd asked.
Do it now, while there's still time to listen. Set up a book in minutes and send your parent a simple link.
