Meminto StoryScribe

Turn memories into a Meminto – without typing it all.

Your grandparents have a hundred stories – and nobody is ever going to write them down. With StoryScribe they don't have to: they simply talk, and their words become the printed book.

The simple view

Simple & intuitive – even for grandma & grandpa.

The simple view makes Meminto even more accessible and can be used intuitively by older, less tech-savvy people too.

  • A clean, clear interface with large buttons and clear icons
  • Create a Meminto book effortlessly and without confusion thanks to simple navigation
  • No typing needed: pick a question, press record and start talking.

The simple view makes capturing memories possible for everyone – and fun.

Even the commas

Speech becomes text – with nothing to retype.

After grandma or grandpa have recorded all their stories, you get an email notification. In just a few clicks you turn every recording into perfectly written text* – we even mind the commas and thematic paragraphs.

And all the “hmm”s and “um”s…? Our AI deliberately leaves them out!

Gail with their own Meminto book
I’ve been writing my life story since I was in my 20’s. Now I finally have a medium for capturing my tales on paper in a beautifully printed book, using ‘copy & paste’ and the Meminto blank book option. I’m already working on my second book! You can find my review here!

I highly recommend the childhood book . I made it for my son so he knows how great our family time used to be. He already loves it and enjoys looking at it over and over again.

I am a photographer and value high print quality. Meminto has absolutely met that. I genuinely love the idea behind collecting stories, not just our own but of those around us. Read my Meminto review here.

My neighbour Helga helped me write the story of my life into a book. Remembering the old days brought me joy, and now I have something to pass on to my grandchildren.

Carole für Elise with their own Meminto book
Elise’s grandmother Carole decided to immortalize the first years of Elise’s life in a Meminto Childhood book. An almost 500-page thick book has been created, and Elise was full of joy!

I have captured the stories of our family over the last 12 months. It’s more than just a photo book: you feel gratitude for all the great moments! Here is my Meminto review.

Steven with their own Meminto book
I am extremely happy that I was able to preserve my late brother’s stories and poems with Meminto before they are forgotten. The support from Meminto has been amazing.

William with their own Meminto book
William’s grandmother, Carole, created a Meminto Childhood book as a surprise for his 13th birthday. After months of dedication and a last-minute race to finish, the gift arrived just in time and William was so captivated that he read it aloud to his family on the drive home

Before you start

What families want to know first.

Does the storyteller need to be able to type?

No. They press record and talk – that is all. The recording becomes the text. If you want even less to operate, use the simple view: one question, one big button. See the simple view

What if they have no smartphone?

Then it works by phone: Meminto calls, asks the question and records the answer. No app and no internet needed for the call. Phone interviews

Does their way of telling a story survive?

Yes. The conversion adds punctuation and paragraphs and drops filler like “um” – the wording stays theirs. Every text can still be edited freely afterwards.

What does turning speech into text cost?

It runs on credits. You get 50 free to try it out, plus 200 with every book you buy. Five minutes of recording costs around 25 credits and gives you roughly two book pages. Credits and pricing

Does it work in Turkish, Polish or Spanish too?

Yes. StoryScribe recognises 23 language variants. The telling and the book language may even differ – the questions arrive in English, the answer may come in their mother tongue. Languages and translation

How does Meminto work in the browser – and is there an app?

Meminto works directly in your browser — on a computer, tablet or phone, with nothing to install. If you prefer speaking to typing, you can also use the Meminto app for iOS and Android.
