Have a story, but don’t know how to write it?

LivesToTell is a voice storytelling app that helps you turn the things you want to say into stories you can keep and share.

Record yourself speaking naturally. LivesToTell converts your voice to text and helps organize and polish your words into a readable story. Add photos, build your collection over time, and share your stories with the people who matter.

Social media is great for sharing what’s happening. LivesToTell is for telling the story behind it.

A photo can show where you went. A post can tell friends what you did. But the experiences, thoughts, people, and little details behind those moments often never get told.

With LivesToTell, simply talk about them. We help turn your spoken words into organized, polished stories that you can keep—and share with the people who matter.

Speech-to-text writes down what you say.

LivesToTell helps turn the way you talk into the way you would want your story written.

You can speak naturally—with pauses, repetition, unfinished thoughts, and ideas that come out of order. LivesToTell transcribes your voice, removes unnecessary words, organizes your thoughts, and turns them into a more polished, readable story.

You don’t have to sit down and decide, “Today I’m going to write my life story.”

Use LivesToTell whenever something is worth remembering or sharing.

Record a journey. Take a quick note. Save a family recipe. Tell a childhood memory. Record something funny that happened today. Interview your parents. Talk about an old photograph. Or gradually build your memoir, one story at a time.

Just speak when the thought or moment is fresh.

You can—and sometimes you should.

LivesToTell isn’t trying to replace social media. It serves a different purpose.

Social media is designed around posts, feeds, followers, likes, and what’s happening now. LivesToTell is designed around your stories and the people you want to share them with.

A recipe can become the story of the person who taught you to make it. A vacation photo can become the story of what happened that day. A conversation with your mother can become a family story everyone can remember.

And when you want to share, you can share your LivesToTell stories with family, friends, and others.

Your memoir can be one use of LivesToTell, but your life isn’t one giant story waiting to be written.

It is made up of small stories, thoughts, journeys, recipes, people, discoveries, and everyday moments.

Record one today. Another next week. Over time, those individual stories can become something much bigger.

Yes. Sometimes the stories we most want to preserve aren’t our own.

Sit together, have a conversation, and let them tell the story naturally. You can record their memories and preserve their words, photographs, and stories for the family.

You don’t need a formal interview. Sometimes the best beginning is simply:

“Tell me about this picture.”

Yes.

Photos can give a story context and bring memories to life. Add photographs to your stories and arrange them alongside what you’ve recorded.

Instead of having a photo sitting silently in your camera roll, you can preserve the story behind the photo.

Your stories don’t have to be public just because they’re digital.

You decide what you want to keep for yourself and what you want to share with family, friends, or others.

That distinction is important: not every meaningful story needs to become a public post.

Because later is where many stories disappear.

You remember something while looking at an old photograph. Your mother suddenly tells you how she met your father. You discover a wonderful place while traveling. You remember exactly how Grandma made that dish.

You don’t need to stop everything and write.

Just tell it while it’s fresh.

Yes. Every story starts out private, and only you can see it. You choose if and when to share with family, friends, or more widely.

Absolutely. You decide who gets access. Family and friends can read, comment, and even help you build a shared legacy together. Press Share from your story and invite anyone to the app to view, comment, and contribute.

Yes. When you are ready, your stories can become a beautifully designed keepsake book that you can hold, gift, and pass down. Open the My Book menu to select stories, personalize the design, and create a book that is uniquely yours.
