Why is a Meminto Biography Book so valuable?
Want to give a present that will be remembered for a lifetime? A Meminto is the perfect choice! Record your life story in a unique way. Meminto is also available as a version with questions about the personal Christian faith.
Meminto makes remembering a pleasure. Whether it’s childhood memories, adolescent adventures or adult milestones, Meminto guides you through every stage of life, asking inspiring questions and capturing the most precious memories, stories and photos.
By emailing a question every week for a year, creating the book becomes a breeze and is completed in a year at the latest. Of course, answering all the questions directly also makes it faster.
The main thing that makes it unique is the multimedia content that finds a place in a Meminto: Videos and voice memos not only bring memories into the book, but also bring them back to life from it. They can be played back via any smartphone with a QR code printed under each story.
Life writes the best stories.
This is how your Meminto can look like!
Your Biography: A Piece of World History.
Everyone becomes an author with a Meminto Biography!
ℹ️ Here’s how it works:
You will start with 52 life prompts about your past. These come either once a week by e-mail or can also be answered in one go, just as you wish.
Your answers become the chapters of a book full of life stories – your biography.
After the storytelling, up to 250 pictures and additional audios and videos can be uploaded.
About 8-12 days later, you will be able to hold the book in your hands – a truly unique masterpiece with the best memories of your life.
