The most meaningful gift is her story.
Set up VoiceHistory for your mom or grandmother in minutes. She answers gentle prompts by speaking — VoiceHistory saves every word as audio and searchable text, so her voice and her stories are preserved forever.
How the gift works
You buy a VoiceHistory subscription for yourself. Then you create a private Mother's Journal for her, send her prompt questions by email, and VoiceHistory saves each spoken answer as audio and a written transcript in your account.
A thoughtful gift from sons and daughters, spouses, or grandchildren.
Your subscription includes 2 family members, so you can start with Mom now and use the second spot for Dad, a grandparent, or someone else later. Or start a 7-day free trial →
What you are buying
A subscription you own, set up as a gift for her
Mom does not buy VoiceHistory. You do. Your gift is the time, care, and structure of sending her meaningful questions and collecting her answers for the family.
You purchase and manage it
The account and subscription are yours. Mom does not need to sign up, remember a password, or pay for anything.
Mom receives story prompts from you
Send custom questions weekly, monthly, or whenever you want. The gift is your invitation for her to share the stories only she can tell.
Her voice is saved for your family
Every answer is stored as a voice recording and written transcript inside the special journal you created for her.

A quiet kind of gift
Her stories. Saved in her own voice.
There's a version of her you've only heard in pieces — at the kitchen table, on a long drive, after a second cup of tea. VoiceHistory gives her the room to share those stories, in her own words, on her own schedule.
- No pressure, no deadline — she answers when she wants.
- Every story saved as audio and a clean transcript.
- Kept in a private archive only your family can open.
How to present the gift
Give her a note that explains exactly what happens
VoiceHistory is easiest to understand when Mom hears it from you: you will send questions, she will answer by speaking, and you will save the stories for the family.
Create Mom's GiftGift note
A Mother's Day gift for your stories
Happy Mother’s Day.
This year, I wanted to give you something more personal than flowers.
I set up a Mother’s Journal for you in VoiceHistory. Every so often, I’ll send you a question about your life, our family, or a memory I would love to hear in your own words.
All you have to do is open the email, click record, and talk. VoiceHistory will save your voice and write out the story for us, so our family can keep it forever.
There is no app to install and no account for you to manage. I’ll take care of the setup. You just share the stories.
Use this in a card, email, or printed note when you give the gift.
Why this beats another bouquet
Traditional gifts fade. Their stories don’t.
More meaningful than flowers
Instead of a gift that wilts in a week, give something they’ll still be adding to next year.
Easy to start today
No shipping, no wrapping, no waiting. Set up her journal tonight and give her the note on Mother’s Day.
Lasts beyond one holiday
One prompt at a time, their voice becomes a keepsake the whole family can revisit for years.
Questions people usually ask
Everything you need to know before giving VoiceHistory.
Whose subscription is this?
The subscription is yours. You create the account, manage the prompts, and keep the family archive. Inside your subscription, you can create a special journal for your mom or grandmother.
What exactly am I giving Mom?
You are giving her a simple way to tell her life story in her own voice. You send her custom prompts each week, or as often as you choose. She opens the email, taps record, and speaks her answer.
Where do her recordings go?
Each recording and written transcript is saved in your account inside the journal you created for her, such as “Mother’s Journal.” You can collect, organize, and later turn those stories into a keepsake for the family.
Can I use this for Dad too?
Yes. Your subscription includes 2 family members, so you can create one journal for Mom now and another for Dad, a grandparent, or someone else later.
Does Mom need an account?
No. She does not need to buy anything, create an account, or install an app. She receives an email prompt from you, clicks the recording link, and speaks.
Can I add more family members later?
Yes. Additional family members can be added as an add-on anytime, so you can start with one parent today and include more loved ones later.
