Chorus Keepsake: Memory Book

Chorus gathers the voices of the people who love someone, and turns them into one book to hear, read and hold. Start a book for a big birthday, a wedding, a new baby, a child as they grow, a life story, or someone who has died. Then record somebody in the room: hand them the phone, and they answer a question in their own voice. Or send the link, and everyone records from their own phone, with nothing to install and no account to make. At a wedding it's an audio guest book, and every guest leaves a message from their own phone. With a grandparent, sit beside them and record the stories you want your children to hear. A life story is one person answering questions about their own life, a little at a time. It can be your own story, or your mam's that you set up for her. There are 35 questions, from the house they grew up in to how they'd like to be remembered. Choose a question every week or every month. It arrives as a reminder, and they answer it in their own voice or in writing. For a child as they grow, choose a question every week or every month. It arrives as a reminder with their age on it, you answer it in your own voice, or write it, or add a photo, and every entry is filed by how old they were. Grandparents can add their own through the link. For someone who has died, start an In memory book and send one link to everyone who knew them. Gathering the voices is free, with no limit on how many people record. Every recording can be downloaded free at any time, and the recordings belong to the people who made them. The same account works on choruskeepsake.com, where the finished book is built: every voice played straight through with the words on screen, a book to read online, or a printed hardcover posted to you. Chorus is made by Spremt Labs in Ireland.
