Create a summary biography of your life after high school, so classmates attending the reunion can get reacquainted with you. Where did life take you? This app will interview you about your journey after high school and then instantly write the narrative based on your answers. You can use your mobile phone, tablet or computer.
How Does It Work?
- Tap Start to begin the interview.
- Enter your name and upload a current photo from your device. A family photo is a good choice to share with classmates.
- Enter where you went to high school and the year you graduated.
- Answer at least five questions about your life’s journey after high school. You can type your answers or tap the microphone icon to speak your answers (if using your phone).
- Tap the three dot menu and tap ‘Add Details’ to add other info you wish to share with your classmates. Tap Save/Log in to save your data.
- After answering at least five questions, tap the Right Arrow icon and then tap ‘Write my story.’
- Choose what writing tone you want the narrative written in. The ‘Biographical’ option is a good choice for this narrative.
- Choose whether you want the narrative written in the first person or third person.
- First Person: Select this option if you want the story written in your voice, from your perspective.
- Third Person: Select this option if you want the story written in a neutral voice, from an objective perspective.
- Tap ‘Confirm and Pay’. There is NO Charge for this story. No credit card is needed. It is being sponsored by the reunion committee.
- After the narrative is written, edit it as desired and tap ‘Done’. You can also ask the virtual biographer to REWRITE the narrative if you don’t like the first version. Just type the instructions you want the biographer to use. For example, you might type: “Please rewrite my reunion biography in a light hearted tone, using the third person point of view, and focus on my family and work details.”
Enhancement Options
- On the ‘Enhance Story’ screen tap +Media to insert photos where you want them to appear in your narrative.
- Tap +Narrator if you want your story narrated. If you chose to write the narrative in the first person, you can record a sample of your voice and the app will narrate the story in your voice. If you chose to write the narrative in the third person, it’s best to choose one of the professional narrators. There is a nominal charge to use your own voice. There is no charge to use one of the professional voice-over narrators.
- Tap +Music to select a track for background music.
- After making any enhancements, tap ‘Next‘ to continue.

After leaving the ‘Enhance Story’ screen you will land on the ‘Preview / Publish‘ screen. Tap ‘Preview’ to play the narrative. Give it a few minutes to load. Tap the three dot menu at the top and then tap ‘Share’ to copy the link. You can post this link on your reunion’s social media page. Note: this is a free, low resolution watermarked video of your narrative. It’s good for 7 days. See publishing options below to download, publish and make the link permanent.
