Frequently Asked Questions

屋企嗰位長輩唔識用WhatsApp,或者唔想同電話講嘢,點算?

唔緊要。你可以坐喺佢隔籬,幫佢錄第一段,之後佢通常會慣返。又或者你哋一齊做,你讀問題出嚟,佢答,你幫佢錄,一樣得。

What if my parent doesn't use WhatsApp, or doesn't want to talk to a phone?

That's fine. You can sit with them for the first recording, they usually settle in after that. Or do it together, you read the question aloud, they answer, you record it. Either way works.

啲錄音同相片,會唔會俾第三方睇到?

唔會。得你屋企人先睇到,我哋唔會賣或者分享畀第三方。想刪除幾時都得,WhatsApp我哋一聲就得。詳情睇私隱政策

Will our recordings and photos be shared with anyone else?

No. Only your family sees them. We never sell or share them with third parties. You can ask us to delete anything, anytime, just WhatsApp us. Full details in our Privacy Policy.

如果佢走咗,啲錄音會點?

錄音永遠係你哋屋企人嘅。就算本書已經印咗、就算過咗好多年,我哋都會繼續幫你保存住原聲檔案,你隨時可以攞返一份副本。三個選擇由你哋話事:交畀你哋指定嘅家人、繼續由我哋加密保管、或者全部永久刪除。
如果錄到一半佢走咗,我哋照樣幫你整本書。錄咗幾多,就係幾多。冇人有得再錄一次,所以已經錄到嗰啲,更加要留得好。

What happens to the recordings if they pass away?

The recordings belong to your family, permanently. Long after the book is printed, we keep the original audio safe and you can ask for a copy at any time. Three choices, and they are yours: hand the files to a family member you name, leave them encrypted with us, or delete everything for good.
If they pass away partway through, we still make the book. Whatever was recorded is what the book holds. Nobody gets to record it again, which is exactly why what already exists has to be kept properly.

要幾耐先有本書?

快慢由你哋話事。一個週末錄晒都得,想慢慢錄成年都冇問題。收齊晒錄音之後,大概三至四個星期成書。
如果屋企有急事,例如長輩身體唔好,同我哋講,我哋可以加快。呢樣嘢等唔起,我哋明。

How long does it take?

The pace is yours. Record everything in one weekend, or take a year over it if that suits you better. Three to four weeks from the last recording to a finished book.
If something at home is urgent, if their health isn't good, tell us and we can move faster. This is not a thing that waits, and we know it.

如果整出嚟唔滿意呢?

印刷之前,你會逐頁睇到成書嘅完整proof。有咩想改,我哋改到你批准為止,你批准咗先會開印。

What if we're not happy with the result?

You review the complete proof, page by page, before anything is printed. We revise until you approve it, and only then does it go to print.

本書係咩語言?

你哋話事。語言可以中英對照、全中文、全英文,其他語言都傾得。

文字風格都係你哋揀:一係照原文保留佢嘅口語,佢點講就點寫;一係寫成書面語,文字端莊啲,隔幾代人睇都唔會覺得老套。兩樣我哋都做,冇話邊樣先啱。

有一點想你知:金句旁邊嗰個QR,播嘅係佢親口講嗰句。揀咗照原文保留,紙上面同把聲一模一樣;揀咗書面語,就會唔同咗少少。想兩樣都要嘅,可以淨係金句照原文,其餘用書面語,落單嗰陣同我哋講聲就得。

What language is the book in?

Your family decides. Chinese and English side by side, all Chinese, all English, or another language on request.

The register is yours to choose too. Either we keep their spoken words as they said them, or we write the book in formal written Chinese, which reads with more gravity and will not sound dated to a grandchild. We do both, and neither is the right answer.

One thing worth knowing: the QR beside a quote plays that line in their own voice. Keep the spoken words and the page matches the recording exactly. Choose formal written Chinese and the two drift a little apart. If you want both, we can keep the quotes verbatim and write the rest formally. Just tell us when you order.

本書用得耐唔耐?

穿線釘裝,唔用膠裝(10-20年就散)。無酸紙,唔會發黃變脆。不褪色顏料墨。整落嚟就係俾下一代留嘅。

How durable is the book?

Sewn binding, never glued (glue cracks in 10-20 years). Acid-free paper, won't yellow or turn brittle. Pigment ink that doesn't fade. Built to be passed down.

可以送畀屋企人做禮物咩?

啱晒。生日、父親節、母親節、結婚周年都得。想留低幾位長輩嘅故事?問我哋攞家族套裝詳情。

Can I give this as a gift?

Yes, birthdays, Father's Day, Mother's Day, anniversaries. Capturing more than one elder? Ask us about the Family Series.

兄弟姊妹都想要一本,點算?

加印就得。同一本書再印一本,價錢係原書一半:心意版 HK$440,傳家版 HK$990。同原本一齊落單最抵,因為一次過印。幾多本都得。

What if my siblings each want a copy?

We reprint the same book at half the price of the original: HK$440 for a Keepsake, HK$990 for an Heirloom. Cheapest ordered together with the first book, since both print in one run. As many as you need.

屋企人喺外國,寄唔寄到?

寄到。香港以外按目的地實報實銷運費。你人喺外國一樣訂得,可以寄返香港畀爸媽,又或者寄一本去你嗰邊。

Can you ship overseas?

Yes. Outside Hong Kong we charge shipping at cost by destination. You can order from anywhere and have the book sent to your parents in Hong Kong, or sent on to you wherever you are.

可唔可以親手揭下本真書先決定?

可以,我哋反而想你嚟。工作室喺尖沙咀,佐敦站D出口。星期一至五 1pm 至 6pm 直接上嚟就得,公眾假期休息;週末或者其他時間,WhatsApp 我哋約個時間。上到嚟你可以揭真書,掃個QR,聽返把真聲。

Can I see and hold a real book before I decide?

Yes, and we'd rather you did. The studio is in Tsim Sha Tsui, by Jordan MTR Exit D. Walk in Monday to Friday, 1pm to 6pm, closed on public holidays. Weekends and other times, message us on WhatsApp and we'll set a time. You can turn the pages and scan a QR to hear the real voice.

同一般 photobook 或者相簿有咩分別?

Photobook 留低樣,長輩故事書留低個人。一本 photobook 入面係相;我哋嘅書入面係佢親口講嘅人生故事,繁體中文加英文對照,每句說話隔籬有個QR,一掃聽返佢自己把聲。英文叫呢種書做 memory book 或者 life story book。詳細比較:Photobook 同回憶錄,分別喺邊?

How is this different from a photobook or photo album?

A photobook keeps the face; a memory book keeps the person. Ours is a life story told in their own words, Traditional Chinese with English alongside, and beside every quoted line a QR code that plays their real voice. Sometimes called a keepsake book or life story book. Full comparison: Memory Book vs Photo Book.

如果日後個QR用唔到,或者你哋間公司冇咗,仲聽唔聽得返把聲?

個QR而家真係用緊,你而家就掃得到。就算真係去到最壞情況,原聲檔案都一直喺度,唔會因為個QR壞咗就冇埋,你隨時搵我哋攞得返。

What happens to the voice if the QR ever stops working, or if your company is gone?

The QR is live right now, you can scan it and hear it today. And even in the worst case, the original recordings never disappear just because a QR code stops working: they stay yours, and you can always come back and ask us for a copy.
