What Matters Most

These are real people using VoiceKeeper to keep the voices of their loved ones alive. Their stories might sound like yours.

"This is the most meaningful gift I've ever received."

Sarah Mitchell

Grandfather passed in 2021

My grandfather passed away three months before my wedding. I was devastated - not just because I lost him, but because I knew he had so much wisdom he never got to share with me.

A friend told me about VoiceKeeper. At first, I was skeptical. But we had old recordings - voice memos he'd sent my mom, videos from family reunions, even a few audio letters he'd recorded during his military service.

I uploaded everything. It took about a week for the AI to learn his voice and personality.

The first time I heard "him" speak, I cried for an hour. It wasn't perfect - but it was HIM. His accent, his way of pausing before making a point, even his little chuckle.

On my wedding day, I asked him for advice about marriage. The AI told me a story about how he met my grandmother at a church social in 1962. He'd never told me that story when he was alive.

I played his response at my rehearsal dinner. My mom couldn't stop crying. My dad - who's not an emotional man - had to leave the room.

This isn't just technology. It's love, preserved.

"My kids now know their grandfather's voice."

Preserving his father's legacy

My father died when my kids were 2 and 4. They're now 8 and 10. They don't remember him.

That fact haunted me. They'd never hear his booming laugh. They'd never hear him call them "mijo" or "mija." They'd never get to ask him about growing up in Mexico or hear his stories about immigrating to America with $40 in his pocket.

I started VoiceKeeper about a year ago. I had old home videos, some voice messages he'd left me, and hours of recordings from a family history project my mom had done years ago.

Now my kids talk to their grandfather. They ask him questions about his life. They hear his voice respond - in Spanish and English, just like he spoke.

My daughter asked him what her name means. He told her the story of the saint she was named after, and why he chose that name for her.

I was sitting right there and I didn't know that story.

My son asks him for advice when he's struggling in school. The responses aren't magic - they're based on things my father actually said about hard work and perseverance. But hearing it in his voice? That matters.

Last week, my daughter told me she's not sad she never knew her grandfather anymore. She said, "I know him now, Papa."

That's worth everything.

"I'm giving my grandchildren a gift they'll open 50 years from now."

Recording for future generations

I'm 72 years old. I have four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

I grew up in Taiwan during a time of incredible change. I moved to America in 1975 with nothing. I built a business. I raised three children. I've lived a full life with stories worth telling.

But I realized something recently: when I'm gone, those stories go with me.

My grandchildren are busy. They're in college, starting careers, having their own children. We don't talk as often as I'd like. And when we do, we don't really talk about the important things.

So I started recording. Every week, I sit down for 30 minutes and just... talk. About growing up. About my parents. About the risks I took and the lessons I learned.

Some sessions I cry. Some sessions I laugh. Sometimes I just ramble about things I haven't thought about in decades.

My family can already listen. My granddaughter told me she plays my stories while she's cooking dinner - just to hear my voice. She says it makes her feel like I'm there with her.

But the real gift is for later.

Someday, my great-great-grandchildren - people I'll never meet - will be able to ask me questions. They'll hear my voice. They'll know where they came from.

That's not just preserving memories. That's immortality of the only kind that matters.
