Writing my own memory book can begin with an audio recording.

Simple from start to finish
How Mneme works
The storyteller receives the link by text message or email and records an audio reply on the web page. The family follows the project through the portal, and the organizer reviews and approves the book before it is finalized.
Receive a link by text message or email
The storyteller chooses to receive links by text message, email or both. Each link opens a simple, thoughtful question on the response page, with a photo to spark memories when appropriate.
Reply by audio
The storyteller opens the link and records an audio reply on the web page, with no app to install. They can listen to the recording before sending it and tell the story at their own pace.
The story takes shape
Once sent, the reply becomes an organized story that preserves the storyteller’s memories and voice. The storyteller and organizer can review the text through the portal.
The book comes to life
After the organizer’s review and final approval, the stories become a full-colour hardcover book, measuring 16 × 23 cm, with up to 300 pages.
One question, one memory
Your question
Tell it in your own words. You can listen to your recording before sending it.

Stories organized by life stages
From childhood to legacy — each stage is organized to tell a coherent, moving story.

After review and final approval, the book proceeds to printing and delivery to the family.
Why Mneme
It’s not a chatbot. It’s a system designed to turn memories into a book.
Technology works behind the scenes. The participant receives a printed book made to preserve family stories.
The storyteller simply opens a link
The question link arrives by text message or email, according to your preferences. The storyteller opens the page and records an audio reply, with no app to install. The family follows the project and reviews the stories through the portal.
Audio, not writing
The person tells the story by speaking, naturally. Ideal for people who don’t enjoy writing or are unable to write.
Technology organizes, never invents
Technology organizes content from what the person shared. The family reviews and approves the text before printing.
You review before printing
You can review and adjust the content before final printing. No story enters the book without your approval.
Questions that bring back real memories
Curated questions that make room for concrete memories, sent one at a time at the storyteller’s pace.
A guided process, one question at a time
Questions arrive at the agreed pace. The book takes shape gradually, without pressure or hurry.
Questions that reveal stories
Questions that help
recall the details
Each question invites you to recall scenes, feelings and concrete details, one memory at a time.
“Describe the house where you grew up. Which room was your favourite, and why?”
“Tell us about a family tradition you hope will never be forgotten.”
“How did you meet the great love of your life? Describe the exact moment.”
“What was the hardest moment of your life, and how did you find the strength to carry on?”
“If you could leave one piece of advice for your great-grandchildren, what would it be?”
“What is your happiest memory? Describe it as if you were living it again.”
Why now
Some stories
live in the details.
Every family has memories that seem small but hold a whole world: the childhood home, someone’s way of speaking, a recipe repeated for years, a choice that changed everything.
These stories often await the right question, an old photo or an attentive conversation. With Mneme, the link arrives by text message or email and the storyteller records an audio reply on the page, one question at a time, with patience, warmth and care.
Preserving a story is also a way to celebrate the person who lived it.
