## What is Lives Lived?

Lives Lived transforms your family letters, postcards, journals, and old documents into a living, searchable archive — with the ability to hear them read aloud in a natural voice.

SCAN & CAPTURE
Point your camera or video recording at any handwritten letter, vintage postcard, photograph, or document. LivesLived reads the handwriting and extracts every word automatically — even from difficult or faded writing.

LISTEN TO HISTORY
Turn scanned documents into natural-sounding audio narrations. Choose from multiple voices and listen to your family letters read aloud, bringing the words of loved ones back to life. Navigate by chapter and pick up right where you left
  off.

DISCOVER CONNECTIONS
LivesLived identifies the people, places, dates, and relationships mentioned across your entire collection. See an interactive map that reveals connections between documents you never knew existed — like two letters mentioning the same
  person decades apart.

ORGANIZE YOUR COLLECTION
Group related items into collections — a box of grandma's letters, a stack of postcards from abroad, a wartime journal. Add your own notes, dates, and locations. Search across everything instantly.

ASK QUESTIONS
Curious about something in your collection? Just ask. "What did Mom write about the summer of 1962?" — LivesLived finds the answer across all your scanned documents.

PRESERVE & SHARE
Export entire collections as secure archives. Back up your work, share with family members, or preserve your collection for future generations.

Whether you're sorting through an attic full of old letters, organizing estate papers, or simply wanting to hear a loved one's words read aloud — LivesLived turns forgotten documents into something you can search, listen to, and treasure.
