About Remento

Remento is a service that helps preserve family memories by converting spoken stories into a hardcover book with integrated voice playback. Designed for those who may not enjoy writing, it sends weekly prompts via email or text, allowing users to record their responses on any phone without needing an app or login. The recordings are transformed into polished written chapters using Remento's Speech-to-Story technology, which can be edited as needed. Each page of the finished book includes a QR code that, when scanned, plays the original audio recording, enabling future generations to both read and hear the storyteller's voice. The service has been featured on Shark Tank and has reportedly recorded over one million stories from more than 1,500 reviewers.
