Turn family conversations into a beautifully written book - without writing a single word yourself.
Roots Recounted was born from a simple realisation: family memories vanish if they stay unspoken. One quiet evening, I sat down with my mom and dad to ask about their early lives—how they met, how they decided to immigrate to the USA, and the other milestones that shaped their lives. The recorder on the table captured laughter, tears, and stories I had never heard before. In that moment I felt both wonder at how rich our history is and urgency to pass it on to future generations of our family. Those late‑night recordings became the first pages of a written narrative. Friends soon asked for the same help, and Roots Recounted took root.
We transform your recorded chats into a heirloom book—transcribed, lovingly written in the style of your choosing, and printed to last for generations. All you have to do is talk; we’ll do the rest.
Storytelling is what makes us human. It stitches past to present, stranger to kin, voice to voice. When you preserve a story you preserve identity—and that’s a gift no algorithm can replicate. If you’re ready to save the stories that shaped you, we’re here to help you recount your roots.
Have a conversation with people you love and press record on any device.
Pick your tone, style, and let us handle the rest.
