Resources & Guides
Practical advice, tutorials, and inspiration for recording custom voice stories and staying connected with your loved ones screen-free.
Voice Restoration builds a synthetic recreation of a person's own voice from recordings they already have — voicemails, home videos, voice notes — so the bedtime stories they write still sound like them.
You already have the recording. It is sitting in a WhatsApp chat — Grandad reading a page of a picture book, an auntie singing the song only she knows. Getting it onto a Yoto card sounds like it needs software and patience. It needs neither. Save the file, upload it, and Spoken Letter does the rest.
The stories you assume you can always ask about are the ones that go first. Nobody writes them down, and pointing a video camera at someone makes them stiff. A phone on the table and one good question is enough. Here is how to capture real family history without turning the afternoon into an interview.
Making custom Yoto cards for your grandchildren used to involve complex audio editing software, manual file formatting, and tedious file transfers. With Spoken Letter, grandparents can record their own voice from anywhere and turn it into a Yoto-ready bedtime story.
Most gifts for long-distance grandparents are objects. A frame, a mug, a photo book — opened once, admired, then put on a shelf. The gifts that actually close the distance are the ones that come back. Something that happens again next week, and the week after.
Reading storybooks aloud is one of the most meaningful ways to connect with children. Discover how to record your voice reading a book from home, polish the audio with Gemini, and share it with your family.
You don't need to be good with technology to record a bedtime story your grandchild will listen to every night. You just need your voice and a few minutes. Here's what actually helps, and what you can skip worrying about.
A toddler bedtime routine does not need a video call or a glowing screen to include someone who lives far away. A short recording in a familiar family voice can become one repeatable part of the evening: the same words, in the same place in the routine, available even when the person who recorded them is in another time zone. This guide shows how to set that up without promising that audio is a cure for sleep problems.
Travel is exactly when a screen-free bedtime routine tends to fall apart. You're tired, you want everyone to remain calm, the environment may be unfamiliar, and a tablet feels like the fastest way to get everyone settled. Here's how to keep the routine intact anyway, without needing the exact setup you have at home.
If you already have a Yoto, you know the appeal: real content, no screen, and a device your kid can operate entirely on their own. One of the best things you can put on a Make Your Own card isn't a recording of yourself; it's a recording of someone your child loves but doesn't get to hear from every day.
