Narratone Omdömen 20

The core experience is excellent. The chapter structure keeps me organized in a way that a blank google doc never did

Got this for my mother after she kept saying she wanted to ""write down her stories someday."" Someday never comes right? Well. She has been on this thing every single night for two months. We ordered the printed book for her birthday and I am not exaggerating when I say there was not a dry eye at the table. Worth every penny and then some.

Easy to use platform with thought promoting questions to help the writer along. I like that you can use AI, own words or a combination of both to tell your story.

I use narratone for write my own stories ,, i want finally put my life memories in one place but i always gott stuck with nothing to write. english is not my first language so sometimes i write little mesy and slow but the questions give me direction and easy to write. I like i can write parts and organize chapters so it start feel like a real book not like notes in fone and adding fotos make it more alive. Also book surprise me , it feel strong and nice quality not cheap and honestly i feel proud holding it like ok i actually did it

I thought the printed book was gonna be kinda cheap, like a flimsy little photo booklet. Nope, it’s actually solid and feels like a real keepsake. The print came out nice and it didn’t look like random notes thrown together.

I’m gonna be honest, I’m not good with computers. I thought this would be confusing. But Narratone was actually pretty easy once I clicked around a little.

The questions kinda walk you through it so you don’t stare at a blank page. I just did a little at a time after dinner. And when I messed something up, I found my way back (no panic lol haha)...

Now I’ve got a bunch of my stories written down that my kids have never heard. I didn’t think I’d stick with it, but I did. Pleasantly surprised.

gave this 5 stars easy, never thought i’d ever finish “my story” but here i am holding the book in my hands. my head ain’t what it used to be, doctor says i got some memory issues and i lose words a lot but narratone walked me through one question at a time so it didn’t feel scary, just like talking. some days i could only do a few lines and that was ok, it saved everything and let me come back when my brain wasn’t so foggy. my daughter says she learned stuff about my army days and my first job i never told anybody before. the book looks real nice too, like something you’d buy in a store, not a school project. if you’re an old guy like me and worried you “can’t write” or your mind’s slowing down, try narratone anyway, it kinda holds your hand and helps the memories come out.

I’m 60, and I’ve been saying for years that I should write some memories down for my kids… but I never knew where to start. I tried a notebook (lasted a week 😅)

Narratone gave me a structure. The guided prompts made it feel doable, and when I got stuck, the little writing “helper” nudged me along instead of making me feel dumb about it.

What I really liked:
- I could type / use voice-to-text depending on the day.
- Adding photos was simple, and it made everything feel more “real” for my family.
- I didn’t feel rushed. I edited and tweaked things until it sounded like me.

The best part is the outcome: my daughter called me after reading a few pages and said, “Mom, I never knew that story.” That alone made it worth it.

I’m still finishing a few chapters, but I’m genuinely excited to hold the hardcover in my hands when it’s done

i dont really know computers that well but i got narratone working somehow and it’s been helping me put my life and my husband in a book. the questions are simple, i just kinda talk and type what i remember and next thing i know theres a bunch of pages, more than i ever wrote in my whole life. my grandkids liked seeing our old picture on the front, they said it looks like a “real book” which made me proud.

its not all perfect so i give 4 stars. sometimes i click wrong stuff and i get a bit lost and have to back up and start again, screens feel busy for my eyes. but once im in the writing part its pretty easy even for me and i keep going back to add more stories, so that should say something.

I’m in my early 70s and honestly never thought I’d get my stories out of my head and into a real book, but Narratone has gotten me farther in a few weeks than I’ve managed in years. The questions really jog my memory and the voice-to-text lets me just talk like I’m chatting with my sister on the phone. I took one star off only because it took me a little while to figure out where everything is on the website, but once I got the hang of it, it’s been smooth sailing. My kids are already asking when “Mom’s book” will be finished, and that alone makes it worth it.

I struggled with the system at first but got a handle of it after a quick exchange of messages with the lovely people from the team. The photos turned out better quality than I expected for a book from the internet.

im still working on my narratone book, typing with two fingers and making a million mistakes but its ok. the questions they ask kinda pull the stories out of my head so it dont feel like “writing a book”, just talking. im not done yet but im actually having fun with it and narratone keeps me going instead of giving up.

Im not a writer person at all, I work fulltime in healthcare and by the time I get home Im usually worn out so honestly I didnt expect much when I signed up for Narratone. Somehow answering a few questions here and there turned into this full fledged book in a span of a week that showed up on my doorstep and I just kind of stared at it like, “wow, I actually did this.” The prompts pulled out stuff I forgot I even remembered and the voice thing helped on nights when I just couldnt sit and type anymore. I ordered 4 copies, one for each of my kids, and my oldest son actually texted me “Mom this is really good” which is not something he says alot or easily. The surprise for me was this: I thought it would feel like homework but it ended up feeling more like therapy, in a good way. For what its worth Ive tried regular journals and a couple of those “write your story” workbooks off Amazon and they’re all half finished in a drawer but this one made it to a real hardback book sitting on my coffee table and that alone makes it worth it to me.

I bought this as a gift to my father who has recently become very ill and I wanted to write down his life’s stories so they could be kept in our family together.

Unfortunately i didn’t understand at first was that he wouldn’t be interested in typing. Fortunately, Uponlife offered a recording functionality so i just sat down with my dad and he spoke. His stories then got transferred into the computer. Then i realized they have this ai editing function, which expanded on and polished the story - and with great accuracy at that.

Great product and service 10/10

Very good product and awesome service, appreciate the book.

I work in printing and publishing, so I have high standards when it comes to books. I'll admit, I thought this was going to be another cheap-looking print-on demand product. But the quality was excellent. Paper felt rich , the colors were vibrant, and the binding is something you'd expect from a small press. As for the content,it's not ghostwritten fluff - the prompts really helped me get specific and honest. I now have a book that tells my story the way I wanted it told. My wife teared up reading it, and I did too, if I'm honest.

Didn't think I had it in me to write a whole book. But answering those questions just... opened something up. It was like talking to an old friend who knew exactly what to ask.. The speak to record function helped too cause typing hurts my hands sometimes. Now I've got a real book with my name on it sitting in my living room. Unreal

I’m having trouble getting pictures input

I always wanted to write something but I thought it would be too much. This made it feel small and manageable. A few minutes here and there and suddenly I had chapters. The writing assistant and the speech instead of writing functionality really helped.

Photos came out looking really good too.

My sister asked if I had this made by a publisher hahah

I told her yeah kind of :))

Had some difficulty getting started as the link was encrypted. And I’m not sure how to use the ghost writer AI. But other than that I am loving it so far.
