What's New

July 1, 2026

• ✓Automatic Transcription — every audio and video recording is now transcribed for you automatically, using the same AI that powers our writing tools. No extra button to press.
• ✓If you haven't written an answer yet, the transcript fills it in for you. If you've already written something, you'll be asked whether to replace it, add the transcript to what you've written, or keep your original exactly as it is — your words are never changed without asking.
• ✓Works everywhere you can record: Questions, Other Stories, Genealogy stories, and your Dedication.
• ✓Try it for yourself with no account needed — record on Question 1 at https://ourfaithlegacy.com/demo and watch it transcribe instantly.

• ✓AI Writing Tools — two new AI-powered features now appear on every question page after you write your first draft.
• ✓Help me expand this: the AI reads what you have written and suggests three follow-up questions to draw out more detail — names, places, feelings, or what happened next. Answer each question right in place and click "Add to my answer" to append it to your story with a natural lead-in statement.
• ✓Polish my answer: the AI lightly improves the grammar, flow, and clarity of your answer while keeping every fact, name, and memory exactly as you shared it. A side-by-side comparison highlights every change before you decide to accept or keep your original.
• ✓Book Readiness Review — a new "Review my book" button on the Ready to Print page analyzes all your answers and flags any that are very short or may benefit from more detail, with specific suggestions for each.

• ✓Our Lineage: a new Lineage Stories section now appears at the bottom of the Genealogy page. Add titled stories about your family heritage — they print on a dedicated page immediately after the pedigree charts in your book.

• ✓Family Members: owners can now invite family members as ghostwriters who can write answers and upload photos directly in your journal on your behalf. Everything they add appears under your name in your finished book.
• ✓To add a family member, go to Family Members in the navigation and enter their email. If they already have an account, access is granted immediately. If not, they receive a branded invitation email explaining their role.
• ✓Access can be removed at any time from the Family Members page — the family member will receive an email notification.
• ✓When a journal is submitted for printing, family members are automatically locked out and can no longer make edits.
• ✓Photo capture: a new "Take Photo" button on every question page lets you use your phone camera to scan or photograph keepsakes, letters, and old prints — then attach them directly to any answer.

• ✓Navigation updated: "Questions" is now "Stones" and a new "My Legacy" dropdown has been added with links to Our Lineage and Life Map.
