What our clients are saying:
I loved that with one simple question, an entire world was opened and we started searching for her cousins and thinking about more and more stories. It's brilliant, powerful and -- unleashed so much.
I just finished listening to the story of my life with Audivi. When I came to the end, I actually felt as though I was living NOW in THAT time. SOOOO many memories of my life. Every time I listen to it I feel young again. I treasure the memories and hope that my GREAT GREAT GREAT grandchildren will enjoy listening to this someday.
I played the memories for my mother last week. It was wonderful because she was smiling the whole time and she would finish her own sentences, delighted at hearing the story. It felt as if she were chiming into the lyrics of a favorite song. She was chuckling through the whole thing, totally engaged.
The Audivi memory bank about my mother has already become a family treasure. We learned more details about her life and now we have those stories recorded in her own voice. The site is presented beautifully and is easy to navigate. What a gift to us all!
Words can’t express how thrilled I am with the Audivi memory bank for my mom. It is a treasure to have this information together – the photos, my mom’s voice and the history.
This is such a beautiful way to pay tribute to family history. I love hearing Grace’s voice and her expressions and the details as only she can express them. So much fun seeing photos of the past and learning more about Jugger’s family too. This is so special.
Nana's memories are so beautiful! She has such joy in her voice. I loved it and would love to hear more. It's so important to get this all down and so incredibly cool to have a better idea of where we all come from.
We recently captured the memories for some residents in our community and then played them at a 'Getting to Know You" activity. It was a big success. The residents really enjoyed learning about each other and were all smiles. We will certainly be doing it again.

Our Story
There were 3 things that inspired me to create Audivi:
First of all, my mother has loads of great stories from across her lifetime. We hear many of them again and again – and can cite some of them verbatim – but I know that won’t always be the case. As her memory fades, so will the stories. Someday, the memories will be forgotten – for her and for us.
In addition, I saw my wedding video and was struck by my father’s voice. I realized it was the only place that we had a recording of him speaking. Even though we could hardly see him in the film, it didn’t matter. Hearing his voice transported me back to him.
Finally, I wondered how best to take care of my mother’s memorabilia: a letter from her father when she was young, a 1947 ticket for passage to Europe, old portraits of her great-great grandparents, and so much more. These items, tucked away in my mother’s desk drawer, are likely to be lost over time and are certainly under-appreciated even now. I wanted to bring her special old photos to life.
And so I decided to put them all together: my mother’s voice telling her stories combined with the beautiful old photos. A great listening experience that would keep us connected to her and her past, and would keep the memories accessible to all of us.
Then, something unexpected happened. I played the memories for my mother who has short-term memory loss and saw that experiencing the memories gave her great joy. It enabled her to revisit and re-experience her favorite memories again and again. In an increasingly confusing day-to-day reality, her memories help her feel grounded and connected. Keeping memories accessible to those losing their memories seemed so obvious.
Audivi has now created a memory banking app to make it easy and affordable for everyone to capture memories and keep that critical lifeline to the past alive. We hope you will join us in creating memory banks for all!
