No photo album sounds like you.

When someone is gone, children inherit photographs, keepsakes, stories told second-hand. What they rarely get is a voice — reading to them, warm and unhurried, the way it always was at bedtime.

A personalized audiobook changes that. You record two minutes of your voice today. We turn it into a full classic children's audiobook narrated in your voice. Your grandchildren can listen to it at bedtime for the rest of their lives — whether you're a continent away or no longer here.

"They asked to hear Grandma read again every single night. We didn't realize how much they'd needed that until they had it."

The voice-cloning technology preserves what photographs can't: your warmth, your specific way of turning a phrase, the rhythm of how you tell a story. Grandchildren who hear it recognize it immediately as you.

On your phone, in a quiet room. Read anything aloud — a recipe, a letter, a memory. We just need your voice.

Pinocchio, Cinderella, The Ugly Duckling, the Alice books, Wizard of Oz — or any of 100+ public-domain classics.

3

We deliver an MP3

A finished audiobook in your voice, delivered within days. The family saves it and plays it whenever they want — forever.

For families, too

This page is here for grandparents who want to create something lasting while they can. But families also use it to honor someone after they're gone.

If you have an existing recording — a voicemail greeting, a home video with clear audio, a saved answering machine clip — and the person gave consent to how their voice would be used, we may be able to work from it. Email us first so we can review what you have before you order.

We handle these requests with care. If you're not sure whether it's appropriate, write to us — we're real people and we'll give you a real answer.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use this if I'm ill or my voice isn't strong?

Yes. Our voice-cloning works with soft, older, and tired voices. If recording feels too difficult right now, existing audio from a voicemail or video can often serve as the source. Email [email protected] and we'll work with whatever you have.

What if the grandparent has already passed?

We can work from existing audio if the person gave consent before they passed, or if the family holds the rights. A voicemail greeting or home video clip is often enough. Contact us before ordering so we can review what you have.

How long will the audiobook last?

Forever. The MP3 file is yours to keep — no subscription, no expiration. Save it to a phone, a tablet, a hard drive, or burn it to a CD. It will be there as long as you want it.

Which stories make the best legacy gift?

Families often choose something personal — a story connected to a memory, or the book a grandparent read to their own children. Most popular: short Grimm's tales (Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel), Andersen (Thumbelina, The Little Mermaid), Alice in Wonderland for older grandchildren. Preview any title free on our YouTube channel.

Is this appropriate for a child who has lost a grandparent?

Many families have found it deeply comforting. Hearing grandma or grandpa read at bedtime — warmly, unhurriedly, in their real voice — holds a connection that photographs alone can't. If you're unsure, we're happy to talk: [email protected].

Is the voice used for anything else?

No. The voice clone is created for your audiobook and deleted afterward unless you ask us to keep it. We require explicit consent from the person whose voice is being cloned, or from their family if they have passed. We never reuse a voice without permission.
