Hear Nan tell it in her own voice
“I didn't tell my mother — she'd have said it was too much fabric for one girl.”
Discover the stories your mum or dad has never had the chance to tell.
Tellby helps someone you love share one real story in a relaxed voice conversation. After the first session, your family receives a private story card you can read, hear and keep.
“What is the first thing you remember about the house you grew up in?”
There is nothing to learn first. Take your time; Tellby leaves room for the details that make a story belong to someone.
See how a story comes together
Their recording stays private until you choose to share it.
The person who lived it stays in charge.
They can pause, skip, or stop, and say what stays off-limits. You read and approve the card before the wider family sees it. The original recording stays exactly as it was told.
One story is enough.
Begin with the one you hope they will tell in their own words.
