What is Tellus?

Voice recordings into written memoirs and illustrated children's books.

Who is Tellus best for?

Tellus is best for families who want a parent's or grandparent's life stories recorded and turned into a memoir.

  • Grandparents who won't write

    They get a question each week, tap record and talk, so there is nothing to type or edit.

  • Grandchildren who live far away

    Each recording can become an illustrated children's story, so kids get to know a grandparent through bedtime reading.

  • Families who speak other languages

    It works in more than 95 languages, so a parent can tell stories in their first language.

  • Keeping the real voice

    The original recordings are kept alongside the memoir, so the family can still play the storyteller's own voice.

How much does Tellus cost?

Tellus is free for recording and transcribing unlimited stories, and a one-time $69.99 Lifetime payment adds the written memoir, 15 storybook tokens and access to every family story, with no subscription.
