Tellbook: Family Story Book

A gift for Mom, Dad or your grandparents: their stories in their own voice, turned into a book. Three chapters free, then one purchase — no subscription.

Sit down with Mom or Grandpa — or call them on speaker — and Tellbook turns your conversation into chapters of a family book that keeps their living voice.

YOU ASK, THEY TALK • Question cards you read aloud: 180 warm questions about childhood, love, work, the times they lived in, family recipes and advice for the grandchildren. • Your storyteller doesn't need a phone, an app, an email or a password. Everything happens on your iPhone. • Gentle follow-up ideas when an answer is short. Add your own questions any time. • Difficult topics like war and loss appear only if you turn them on, with careful wording.

A CHAPTER WITH THEIR VOICE • Each answer becomes a beautifully laid out chapter with a photo and a “Listen” button. • The recording is transcribed on your iPhone. On iPhones with Apple Intelligence and in supported languages, the text is tidied up on the device without adding anything; otherwise you get a word-for-word transcript with paragraphs. Speech recognition depends on your device and language — if it isn't available, the voice is still saved and you can type the text. • The original transcript is always kept next to the chapter, and you can edit everything.

RECORDINGS ARE PRECIOUS • Saved every second while you record; an interrupted recording is offered for recovery. • Keeps recording with the screen locked; pauses for calls and continues after. • Syncs to your own private iCloud. No account, no servers, no ads, no tracking. • Export the full archive — every voice, text, transcript and photo — at any time, for free.

A REAL BOOK • Several storytellers, each with their own book. • A PDF book with a cover, contents, chapters and photos, ready to print or send. • Share any single chapter with family as text and audio.

Recording a call: put a second phone on speaker next to your iPhone. Phone calls on the same iPhone can't be recorded.

Languages: English, Ukrainian and Russian.

Free: three chapters for one storyteller, with recording, transcription and layout. Tellbook Forever is a one-time in-app purchase that unlocks unlimited chapters and storytellers and the PDF book. It is not a subscription and can be shared with Family Sharing.
