The takeaway
A considered Storii alternative
Storii can be a strong fit for a storyteller who wants to speak by telephone and preserve the result as audio or an eBook. Its no-internet, no-smartphone phone flow removes a meaningful barrier for many families.
Meminto fits families who want those telephone interviews alongside writing, photographs, voice, video and a shared printed memory 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.

“Our guests gathered stories about us and also recorded the wedding day for us in the book, with lots of pictures and videos. We can always pick it up and dive back in. Really nice.

“With Meminto Stories I found a way to keep all my flashbacks of the first adventure with our child in a book. Now we can cherish them forever.
“I’ve tried so many things, but with any travel picture, you always have to tell your friends what you experienced there anyway. That’s the strong advantage of Meminto. It includes the WHOLE story.

“So much more than just a photo book. Through the questions, beautiful old memories come up again. Even videos could be loaded into the book. Emotions like when it all happened!
“What I liked was capturing memories in the form of videos and audios. Nobody does that as well as Meminto. We both had fun answering the questions and became closer. The childhood book is next.
“Together with my son I have been able to record almost a century of history. We have created 16 books in German and seven in English. My family lives widely scattered. They were very happy.
