Request, receive, curate, and publish video stories in minutes, without the hassle and expense.
We all want to record our life story, or the stories of our loved ones. But it's difficult and time consuming. We don't know where to start. And at the end of the day we just, well, put it off until it's too late.
Until now.
At Rakonto, we remove the friction that keeps people from recording and sharing stories. Every story, no matter how big or small deserves to be preserved and shared, and we’re here to help every step of the way!
Get video stories from anyone – family, friends, clients, employees, partners, attendees, spectators and more – and publish in minutes without the hassle and expense.
No need for anyone using Rakonto to download or install any software, everything you need is on here with our easy-to-use platform. You can create, request, collect and publish videos in minutes without having to learn new tools and it’s completely FREE to get started.
We understand that recording a story for the first time can be difficult. Knowing what to say or where to start are normal concerns, and that’s why we created a help wizard to help you understand the layout, plus walkthrough tutorials to guide you through the recording process, while also viewing timelines to see how they look and viewing stories for inspirational ideas.
