Getting started
What you need before your first recording, how long a book takes, and why you never have to type.
Questions in this topic
No. The whole process is voice-first. You answer questions out loud, we transcribe them, and the AI shapes your spoken words into chapters. If you do want to correct a spelling or name, you can type — but you never have to.
Most families complete a first draft in a few weeks, recording in short sittings two or three afternoons a week. A human editorial pass (on Family Heirloom and Legacy Concierge) takes 5–7 working days, and printing takes 7–14 days after you approve the proof. You set the pace — nothing happens until you're ready.
