Problem
Older adults often lack the technical skills or devices needed to record and preserve their personal stories, leading to valuable memories being lost over time. Families seeking to capture these narratives must rely on manual, time‑consuming methods that are not scalable or searchable.
Solution
MillionEars provides an AI‑driven voice interview service that calls seniors on any phone—including landlines—and conducts personalized, multilingual conversations to capture their life stories. The system records the audio, automatically transcribes and organizes the content by themes, and stores it with end‑to‑end encryption, making memories searchable and securely preserved for future generations. Users do not need to install apps, create accounts, or possess technical expertise; they simply answer a familiar phone call and speak freely. The platform supports multiple languages such as English, Hindi, Tamil, Mandarin, and Spanish, ensuring interviews can be conducted in the speaker’s native tongue.
Target Audience
Primary customers are families and caregivers of senior relatives who want an effortless way to capture and preserve oral histories, as well as cultural heritage organizations seeking scalable interview solutions for elders.
