How a story gets made
Follow one memory, Baba’s old scooter, from the first word to a book everyone who was there can keep.
STEP 1
Start a book
Say who it’s for. The book is ready.
Let Annie lay out the chapters, or name them yourself. Either way you’re looking at a real book in a few minutes.
STEP 2
Tell one story
Talk. Hit Compile. It’s a story.
Talk it through or type it out, with an old photo if you have one. Act3 writes it up in your voice, and every word is something you said. Short is great. Don’t overthink it.
STEP 3
Invite the people who were there
Ask Anil. What does he remember?
Invite people by email or in person, free. Invited by email? Once they’re in, tell the next one together on a video call from anywhere. In person? Tell it side by side at the kitchen table, no account needed.
STEP 4
Polish it, then pass it round
Everyone remembers a different piece.
Fix a word, add a photo with names and dates. Then email or text it to the people on the book. They highlight a line and add what you missed, right beside your words.
STEP 5
Share an edition
Send it to the grandchildren.
Pick the stories for someone special and send them as one link. No account needed to read. The book keeps growing, so make another whenever you like.
Clarity Backed by Expertise
-
No. Most stories are spoken. Act3 turns what was said into a written story and keeps the recording.
-
Turn her off. Every step works without her.
-
Only people who join online. Someone telling stories in person beside you needs nothing.
-
Only the people you invite. An edition can be read by anyone you send the link to.
Whose scooter is it for you?
One price for the whole book. Nobody pays to join.
