What is Life's Song? At heart, Life'sSong is a series of recordings telling the story of a life. More than that though, Life'sSong becomes a treasured heirloom where family memories live on forever as a link to entire worlds of experience. Begin with the comfort of a guided structure to aid in recalling. Text and images (even a web cam) are also important - but the sound of your voice and the rhythym of your speech is the oral/aural history that serves as melody for Life'sSong. As you speak, your words record directly to the computer, keeping your story compatible with the world of iPods and the Internet. Equally important, your aural history, as well as visual material like scanned documents, photos, etc. are stored in a secure format developed to thwart identity theft (all the family secrets are safe). And we realize cryptic passwords are a hassle to remember, so we devised a way in that you'll never forget - but you can be confident no one but you or someone you authorize can access your information. We're software developers second, family members first - and appalled at the current rise of Alzheimer's disease - as well as the distance that makes reunions and gatherings just a fond memory for too many in this modern society. Candidly, the simple genesis of Life'sSong was listening to my Mom talk of her childhood and her grandmother's family's work as shipbuilders in Scotland. My mother is gone now, but that digital recording is a treasure I never want to lose. More importantly, I'd very much like my grandchildren to be able to hear their great grandmother share her stories of growing up in a world now lost to time. Who knows if my grandfather really did book passage on the Titanic, but then imbibe too much the night before to board the boat before it sailed? No matter the real facts, someday my children's children's children can hear my Mom tell a family tale she believed to be true. Those were her memories. Mine are stimulated by the words "Here's your ears" from the Mickey Mouse Club. To my children, Big Bird's the word. For other folks, it's the mention of "Fibber McGee and Molly!" For further convenience, Life'sSong text size increases as desired. Additional options provide for (1) a synthesized voice to read questions. (2) multi-lingual questionnaires, so a person unfamiliar with English can hear and answer in the dialect of his/her childhood. (3) a secure Internet path enabling economical overnight transcription. Life'sSong's accomodating alternatives mean not only will future generations hear the music of their native language, they'll be able read their family's history too. Every digital chronicle is a keepsake because we've all lived in interesting times. Life'sSong can assure that future generations inherit a wonderful window to your world.
