KinVellum: Story Studio

Record the stories that matter

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Record meaningful moments, protect the original voice, and shape source-linked chapters into a private story book. Record the stories that matter, keep every word connected to its source, and shape approved chapters into a beautiful private book. KinVellum is an oral-history and story-book studio built around the original voice. Start with a complete fictional story, choose a thoughtful prompt, record locally, review the raw on-device transcript, and create a chapter whose paragraphs visibly link back to exact source moments. TRY A COMPLETE STORY FIRST • Explore a 40-second fictional recording, transcript, photos, and finished sample chapter • Reach first value without an account, payment, microphone, photo access, network, or private input • Learn through captions, transcript, mute, seek, replay, speed, and direct walkthrough links • Skip, resume, or replay onboarding whenever you choose RECORD WITH CARE • Check input route, available storage, quality, and estimated recording time before starting • Pause, resume, bookmark, and recover an interrupted recording • Keep the finalized original audio intact • Continue with typed story text if microphone or on-device speech recognition is unavailable PROTECT THE ORIGINAL VOICE • Review timestamped transcript blocks beside their audio • Correct a word through a reversible revision instead of overwriting the raw transcript • Compare, revert, find and replace a confirmed name, and play from the exact sentence • Jump between bookmarks, source excerpts, paragraphs, and their original time ranges SHAPE A SOURCE-LINKED CHAPTER Choose Verbatim, Light Edit, or Narrative Draft and inspect the transformation label and exact source links beside every paragraph. KinVellum rejects unsupported facts and keeps quoted words tied to selected transcript evidence. Add a title, favorite quote, photos, captions, and accessible photo descriptions. Nothing becomes an approved chapter until you choose it. 240 THOUGHTFUL PROMPTS Browse Childhood, Home, Work, Traditions, Turning Points, Places, Lessons, and Custom collections. Search, favorite, skip, or choose a gentler alternate. Sensitive topics never become streaks, required tasks, or analytics labels. BUILD AND EXPORT A BOOK • Arrange approved chapters with drag controls or accessible move actions • Choose a cover, dedication, contents, theme, and page numbering • Generate a selectable-text PDF locally before opening the share sheet • Create a complete ZIP archive with manifest, hashes, original audio, raw transcript, revisions, chapters, photos, captions, and optional PDF • Validate an archive completely before importing an independent copy PRIVATE BY DESIGN Story audio, transcript text, corrections, titles, quotes, prompts, people and place labels, photos, and exports remain in KinVellum's private local app container. There is no story account, public feed, contact matching, face recognition, location lookup, hosted transcription, background upload, or shared family cloud. Optional product analytics accepts only closed, non-content event values and can be disabled. KINVELLUM PRO Free includes one project, five recordings up to 20 minutes each, transcript editing, core prompts, the source-linked workshop, and one watermarked story PDF. Pro adds higher project and recording limits, all prompt collections, longer recordings, the complete book builder, advanced archives, typed drafting, and custom themes. Monthly, yearly, and lifetime options use Apple's localized purchase sheet when available. Existing recordings, transcripts, chapters, and exports remain readable if Pro ends. KinVellum is not a genealogy search service, historical verifier, remote interview platform, voice-cloning tool, restoration service, or permanent-preservation guarantee.
