How Meminto works
Writing a book using Meminto is truly special, and it's incredibly easy too! With our various options, you can write your own book either alone or with others. In the end, you have the freedom to design it to your liking. Here are the key features of Meminto Stories.
Because photo books and diaries
sometimes just aren't enough.
Meminto is like a good friend who calls you regularly to talk about the good old days. Meminto then creates a valuable book from your stories.
Lead through questions...
The essence of Meminto lies in its questions. You don’t need to be highly creative or worry about writer’s block. All you need to do is answer the 52 carefully selected questions and upload corresponding pictures, and your book will nearly write itself.
You can also explore prompts from our question collection and add them to your collection. If you have your own ideas, you can create your own questions and headlines as well. One of the most special features is that your family and friends can ask you questions, too.
Take over the design
Once your answers, stories, and images are added, you can take charge of the book’s design. For the cover, you can choose from different layouts and upload an appropriate cover image. You have complete freedom to choose from selected fonts and to customize the title, categories, questions, and regular text.
Your book will be truly unique, and you can proudly call yourself an “author”!
Answer questions
There are many ways to answer your questions. You can respond to all prompts directly in the browser at meminto.com/app. We also offer a smartphone app that enables you to answer everything from your iPhone or Android device.
We even have a customized interface for seniors that works perfectly on tablets, where you don’t have to type, but can simply speak.
For those who prefer not to use screen devices, there is also the option to book the telephone function. With this service, you will receive a call each week at your chosen time, allowing you to record your answers, which will then be transcribed with Meminto StoryScribe.

Together: Sharing the Meminto Book
A special feature allows you to share your book with family and friends. You can grant them reading rights, so they can watch your book being created and read along.

You can also use this feature when creating a memory book with many friends or family to commemorate a loved one.
