Frequently asked questions

How accurate is the voice transcription?+

Storybound uses state-of-the-art speech-to-text that handles natural pauses, accents, and storytelling cadence with high accuracy. After transcription, our AI gently polishes grammar and flow while preserving your voice — and you can edit every word before it's printed.

Are my recordings and photos private?+

Yes. Your audio, transcripts, and photos are stored privately in your account and are visible only to you. We never sell your data or use your stories to train public AI models. You can delete any recording or photo at any time.

When will my hardcover book arrive?+

Once you finalize your book, we typeset, proof, and print it. Most hardcovers ship within 2–3 weeks and arrive at your door within 3–5 weeks total, depending on your location. You'll get tracking updates the whole way.

Can I keep adding stories after I order my book?+

Absolutely. Your online platform stays with you for life. Add stories anytime and order additional hardcover copies ($69 each, up to 200 pages) whenever you're ready.
