All I want to do is leave a life sized image of me talking to "the audience" whom may be my grandchildren, the youngest now is less than a year old and most likely may never hear of me.
I started this thread a few daze ago and purposefully stayed away to see how it developed.
I like the idea of speaking that gets transcribed into the written word.
After you solve the problem of how to record, then you have to figure our where to save the recordings and transcriptions.
Do you use a genealogical tool like Ancestry or MyHeritage? They have facilities for storing family stories like you are creating. Might be a good place, but you need to pay every year to keep your account going. I do that, but it is expensive.
The biggest problems will be 1) how can you choose a storage company that will be around, or 2) how can you choose a storage medium that will be around a long time. File formats go extinct like the very original Word formats. Once that happens, the content is no longer readable.
That’s why a dual spoken or video solution combined with a written document is a good idea. Somebody suggested self-publishing on Kindle and I thought that was an outstanding idea. Make hard copies of your self-published book and give it to your lawyer to be included in your family trust. Then it can be handed out by your executor when your will is read. At least that way, your immediate posterity will have copies.
