Voice My Stories: 1-tap URL voice-to-text notebooks for parents, memos & more

Hi Product Hunt! 👋

I built Voice My Stories (https://voicemystories.com) because of my dad.

He’s a retired teacher with a lifetime of stories from his past, and because he spent his life teaching, every story carries a lesson he wants to pass on to others. Over the years, he wrote many of them down across different physical books, notebooks, and diaries.

He wanted to get those stories out into the world, but sitting at a computer to type them all out or navigating a complicated app full of dashboards, menus, and settings was frustrating and overwhelming for him.

I realized we needed to separate telling a story from managing the software. If I could give him a simple link with a single Record button where he could just read out and speak his stories, I could handle the editing, organizing, and composing behind the scenes.

How Voice My Stories works today

Voice My Stories is a private voice-to-text notebook built around multi-level organization and custom Space URLs (see our guide at https://voicemystories.com/help):

Multiple levels of organization (Spaces → Stories → Segments): Think of your account as a shelf of notebooks. You can create multiple Spaces for different parts of your life, and inside each Space, organize multiple Stories made up of voice and text Segments.
A 1-tap Space URL for aging parents: You can provision a dedicated custom URL for any Space (for example, [voicemystories.com/john/dads-stories](https://voicemystories.com/john/...)) and share it with a parent. When they sign in on their phone, it stays signed in for a year and shows only a Story selector and one big red Record button - No account settings, no folder trees, and zero admin clutter.
Automatic voice-to-text & story composition for you: Whether a story is recorded through a shared 1-tap URL or directly inside your admin dashboard, every voice clip is automatically transcribed and kept byte-for-byte alongside the original audio. You can edit the transcription inline, add typed text segments side-by-side, drag and drop segments to reorder the narrative, and read it start-to-finish in Full Story view.
Nothing lost by accident: If a parent accidentally deletes a recording on their phone, it moves safely into that Space's Deleted tab in your account, where you can restore it with one click.

Beyond family stories: Personal Spaces & Groups

Because you can create multiple Spaces and control which ones have shared URLs, you can use it in many ways:

• Parents & family history: Provision a clutter-free recorder URL for parents or grandparents while you curate and polish their stories.

• Personal voice-to-text notebooks: Keep private Spaces strictly for yourself—categorize your own daily memos, walk ideas, and personal notes across different Spaces and Stories.

• Groups & communities: Hand over a shared Space URL to a group, class, or book club so every member's recordings land in one shared notebook.

What’s available now & what’s coming next
