No. The recording is analysed in your browser. Only your email address, the product you chose and the order are sent to us when you buy. We count anonymous visits and previews to see whether the page works; those counts contain no recording and no name.
Up to 30 seconds of audio: speech, a laugh, singing, a whistle. Common formats such as mp3, wav, m4a and ogg work in current browsers. A clip with some quiet around the voice works well.
No. It is a mathematical pattern, drawn so that it looks like sand on a vibrating plate. The pitches come from your recording; the plate is an idealised one.
Nothing about their health, character or future. It shows how the pitches in one recording map onto a plate. It is a keepsake, not a test.
In our tests, twenty-two different public recordings gave twenty-two different patterns, and the same recording gives the same pattern each time. Two people saying the same words may still look different, because the pitches in their voices differ. We have not tested that with a pair of speakers.
Many people keep a voice for that reason. Nodalbloom makes a keepsake from it; it is not a grief service or a therapy tool. Please only use recordings you have the right to use.
Please only upload recordings you own or are allowed to use, such as your own voice or singing. We cannot give you rights to someone else's music.
Any print shop or online photo printer can print a PNG. The file is made for 30 × 36 cm; choose a frame or paper size close to that, or scale it down.
No. You pay once, return to the page, and download. Keep the files: we do not keep your recording, so we cannot recreate the keepsake page without it. We can send the download link again.
Buyers must be 18 or older. A parent may of course upload a recording of their own child, for example a first sound.
Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. Creating the large print file needs a computer or a recent phone with enough memory; if your device runs out, use a computer.
Write to us within 14 days. If the files do not open or do not match your preview, we refund the order.
