Hey truer,In October 2017, my mom was diagnosed with cancer. I wanted to preserve her stories, so I bought her one of those write-your-own-memoir books.
She handed it straight back.
“Writing feels like homework.”
I’d given her a way to preserve her life that left her staring at a blank page.
So I started asking her questions instead.
She talked. I listened. We laughed. The stories I’d hoped she would write began coming out in conversation. And hearing her tell them became as meaningful to me as the stories themselves.
That experience became the foundation for Remento.
Each week, your loved one receives a question. They tap a link and answer out loud. Speech-to-Story™ turns their words into a written story for a hardcover book. A QR code on the page takes you back to their voice, including the laugh that never quite translates into print.
They don’t have to become a writer to give your family something worth reading.
Nine years later, I still hear versions of my mom’s response. Jon S. shared:
“Got this as a gift for my mom. She liked using the video/audio interface more than having to write everything out.”
Getting started takes one question and a few minutes of their time. You might be surprised by what you learn.

From our family to yours,

P.S. If there’s an unused journal at your parents’ house, try giving them a question they can answer out loud. That’s how it started for us.
