Frequently Asked Questions
If I send a prompt now, will it mess up my regular weekly schedule? Not at all! Your regular schedule continues exactly as planned. Sending a prompt on demand simply gives your storyteller an extra opportunity to record. Your next scheduled prompt will still arrive as expected.
Can I record multiple stories in one sitting? Yes! Many storytellers love "recording sessions" where they tackle several prompts at once.
What if I start recording but want to finish later? Each recording session needs to be completed in one go, but you can always re-record if you're not satisfied. If you want to continue a story, you can add to your story anytime. For more information, check 🔗 How to Add More to a Story
Can I record offline and upload later? No, recording requires an internet connection for our Speech-to-Story™ technology to process your stories in real-time. However, once you're connected, the recording process is very quick and reliable.
Do I need to download an app to record on my phone? No, Remento works through your web browser on any device. Just visit web.remento.co and you're ready to record. This makes it accessible for storytellers who aren't comfortable downloading apps.
