Questions
Does the storyteller need a smartphone or app?
No. It works over a normal phone with SMS. There is nothing to install, no account for them to manage, and no password to remember.
Can more than one person record?
Yes, on the Family plan, or add a storyteller to any annual plan.
What are the voice QR codes?
Printed codes in the book that play the original recording when scanned, so you can hear the story in their own voice.
Can I download all the recordings?
Yes — any time, on every plan. One click gives you a ZIP with every audio recording, the transcripts, and your book. If you ever cancel, it's all still yours to download and keep.
Can I order more printed copies?
Yes, any time, softcover or hardcover.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep all stories, audio, and your digital book. Nothing is deleted or locked.
