Guided Recording
Sometimes the hardest part is knowing what to say. We'll help you find the words.
When someone sits down to record a memory, they often freeze. Not because they have nothing to say — because they have too much, and no idea where to begin. Guided Recording gently solves that. Instead of facing a blank screen, you're offered a thoughtful question, one at a time, and all you have to do is answer.
The questions are drawn from six categories that together capture a whole life — childhood, family, love, work, wisdom, and the small everyday things that turn out to matter most. You don't have to answer all of them, and there's no right order. You can record one story today and come back for another next week.
What emerges over time isn't just a collection of recordings. It's a portrait — the voice, the pauses, the way someone laughs when they remember something they haven't thought about in years.
Simple from the first step.
Choose a category that feels right — or let us suggest one.
You're shown one question at a time, so it never feels overwhelming.
Answer out loud in your own voice, at your own pace.
Skip anything you'd rather not answer, and return whenever you like.
With 48 carefully written prompts across six categories, Guided Recording gives families a gentle path through a full life story — a little at a time, with no pressure to finish in one sitting.
