PERSONALISE YOUR BOX IN JUST 5 MINUTES

Take a cherished photo and bring it to life....

Creating a Snapshot Box requires just three steps:

​

1)  Choose a photo that is special to you

​

2)  Record a voice note, or choose your audio/music to bring your memory to life.

​​

3)  Send the photo and audio to us via this page (see below), email or whatsapp

​​

We will create your Box especially for you.  Just purchase your box then send us your photo and audio recording and we will personalise your Box. Easy!

​​​

(We do not recommend it, but you can also customise the Box yourself if you want, just print your own  photo and upload your recording by USB.  You can find instructions here)

CREATING A PHOTO AND AUDIO RECORDING
Here are a few tips to get you started:
Chronicle Talking Memory Box

1. Find a suitable photo

​

Choose a favourite photo for your box and send it to us.  As the Snapshot Memory Box is square, your photo must be suitable to be cropped into a square shape.  If you only have a printed copy of your photo, use your smartphone to take a photo of the photo and send it to us.  Alternatively, you can scan your photo for better resolution.  We will contact you if we feel the quality of your photo is too low.  

​

If you need help choosing a photo, please contact us for our tips and suggestions.

2. Create your audio recording (voice or music)

​

The simplest way to record a voice greeting is using a smartphone.  Most phones have a voice recording app pre-installed by default (there are also plenty of free options on the app stores).

 

The box will hold up to 5 minutes of mp3 audio.  Make sure you create your recording in a quiet location.  We can edit your recording if needed*

​

If you want to add music to your box, tell us details of what you'd like or send us the music mp3 that you want.

​

Here are links that explain how to make voice recordings on an iPhone or Samsung smartphone but contact us if you need help.

ABOUT US

Hi!  I'm John and I'm based here in Suffolk (UK).  I am passionate about helping people to record, preserve and celebrate their life stories. Since 2015, I have helped people of all ages to record their personal stories. I believe that our voice is a unique and special part of who we are and therefore recording voices is an important part of preserving life memories.  

​

My company, Chronicle, has been working in the UK since 2015, but our history goes back much further.  We have worked with countless people from all walks of life and of all ages to help preserve their stories and memories (our oldest participant was 101).  We also work with respected organisations such as the Suffolk Archives, local museums, and BT on story based community projects.  

​

The idea for the Snapshot Memory Box arose as I continually explored new ways to allow people to preserve and enjoy their stories in a simple way.   Every Box is thoughtfully designed and carefully crafted to combine tradition with innovation. Rooted in a respect for memory-keeping, my work blends the artistry of personalised design with high quality audio technology, creating pieces that are both meaningful and enduring. From weddings and anniversaries to remembrance and legacy gifts, each box is made to last as a keepsake. Our story continues to grow internationally, but our values remain the same: craftsmanship, care, and the belief that voices and memories deserve to be preserved beautifully.

​​​

We are based in the UK.

Our audio memory frames make meaningful gifts for every occasion — from a traditional 5th wedding anniversary wood gift to a thoughtful present for grandparents, friends, or colleagues. They can be used as talking photo frames or interactive picture frames with sound, allowing you to preserve voicemails, record personal messages, or add music to a favourite photo. Families often choose them as bereavement or memorial keepsakes, dementia support gifts, or ways to bring comfort in care homes and hospitals. They’re also perfect as corporate gifts with sound or even as museum and exhibition audio displays. Whatever the occasion, an audio picture frame offers a unique way to capture voices, memories, and moments that last a lifetime.
