Retold
An app that draws family voices into keepsake story films
About Retold
Retold lets family members tell stories in their own voice by pressing one big red button, with no forms or typing. It listens to the telling, draws the story into a short film paced with the voice, and places each story on a family story shelf for playing familiar voices at bedtime. The official page says it is live on iPhone; Android installation is currently offered through a Google closed test. The first five stories are free, with yearly or monthly subscription options.
