I had issues with the website and customer service was extremely helpful in completing and sending me the book! Great experience and gift!
I asked a question about renewal and got a prompt and generous response that the renewal fee was waived to help me and my loved ones who are eager to complete their books. I appreciate it so much—thank you!
With Kindred Tales, I did something other than publish the story of someone’s life. I assembled 50+ love letters to my wife that her family and dearest friends wrote to her on a special occasion. I already had 99+ pages in a Word file. So, I didn't use the Kindred Tales questions, just their chapter and cover templates. My project was a stretch for Kindred Tales, especially their printing templates. But once I got the body of the text into their chapter template, and initially designed the cover of the book, I communicated daily over 5 days with a Kindred Tales staffer who was patient and willing to go beyond the everyday to make my unique project a reality. They were also willing to listen to constructive criticism from a guy who’s written several books. I have not received the book yet, but am very happy with Kindred Tales service. Kindred Tales went well beyond their sales promotions to make an exacting customer very happy!
I just received my book of stories to gift to my family this Christmas and it is everything I hoped for. Knowing my children and grandchildren will actually understand who I was, not just see a name on a family tree, means everything to me.
This was the best gift I've ever received. I found myself laughing, crying, and reflecting on moments I'd almost forgotten. It left me feeling so grateful and connected to my family.
I will start with , I am 77 years old and have hardly any computer knowledge. That being said I did well talking my story, however the app had huge problems with my speech . I put a lot of words wrong. I went in and corrected them all. I also could not know how much room I had except it said 600 minutes. So my book turned out to be very short. I finally quit in frustration at myself. I tried to get family to help download pics and they being computer savvy couldn’t figure it out. Otherwise it’s not kindred takes fault but my own.
Kindred Tales made it so easy by having questions available, allowing questions to be added, and just like frosting on a cake, photos could be added as well.
Thank you for the kind feedback!
I was suprised and pleased that I got an answer to my question so quickly and it solved my problem completely.
This is a beautiful gift. It is Full of memories and experiences.
I found Kindred Tales when I was looking for a special gift for my grandma's 80th birthday, and I’m so glad I did. It’s been great because it allows me to help her write and transcribe her recordings into stories, making the whole process really simple for her.
I recently tried out a new platform called Kidred Tales, and it’s seriously impressive! It’s designed to capture and preserve a lifetime of stories, which is something I’ve always wanted to do but never knew where to start. Kidred Tales makes it incredibly easy with pre-scripted questions that prompt your loved ones to share their stories, or you can write your own if you're feeling creative. The standout feature is their AI-assisted technology, which helps craft these stories into a beautiful keepsake book. There are four easy ways to contribute stories: through the Classic Composer, via Email, an AI Biographer interview, or an AI transcript for those who do not wish to type. The resulting books are polished and professional while maintaining a personal touch. Navigating the platform is a breeze. The prompts are thoughtful and make it enjoyable to gather these stories. It felt more like a casual conversation than a task, which was a huge plus. In the end, you receive a beautifully crafted keepsake book filled with stories and memories that can be passed down through generations. It’s a unique and meaningful way to preserve family histories. If you're interested in capturing memories and stories, I highly recommend giving Kindred Tales a try.
As someone who likes to read memoirs and is learning to write them, this is a handy tool. Often I need a little nudge to write things down when I have a few minutes and I appreciate the way it gives me prompts and makes it easy to sneak in a few minutes to write.
Thanks for the great experience. The book making process has been fun and useful.
I bought this for my mom as a Mother's Day gift. We are working on her stories together and really enjoying it so far. I look forward to reading the finished book!
