Three simple steps to accessible reading

Lestori augments, never replaces, the physical book. Our technology keeps the printed page at the center of every reading experience.

Step 1

Own the physical book

Lestori only works with legitimately purchased physical books. The real book is always at the heart of the reading experience, protecting publisher rights and encouraging ownership.

Step 2

Activate with Tappi

Each Lestori-enabled book includes a unique Tappi smart sticker: our patented technology that links the physical copy to its AI-enhanced audio and accessibility features.

Step 3

Experience the story

Children can hear the story read aloud by the people they love, access translations in multiple languages, use built-in dictionary support, and engage with the book through a completely screen-free experience.

Bridging physical books and digital accessibility

Proprietary, patented technology designed to protect intellectual property while delivering transformative reading experiences.

Lestori Tappi stickers

Each unique encoded sticker locks audio and digital augmentations to a specific, legitimately purchased physical book. No sticker, no access. This system protects publisher intellectual property while delivering a rich, seamless user experience.

Lestori Screen-Free Technology

Advanced optical technology designed specifically for visually impaired and blind children. Lestori Screen-Free enables physical book reading with pre-recorded personal narration by parents, teachers, or even children themselves, making every page accessible without requiring a screen.

Responses from parents and educators who’ve used Lestori

Lestori helps the visually impaired with functional literacy, and also grows the culture of reading books in families. Empowering parents to bond with their children over conversations about books is a game-changer in our society!

Lestori is a masterclass in translating complex neurological research into seamless, child-centric experiences. It feels simple, but Lestori is deceptively packed with deep intentionality and empathy behind every design choice.

I travel a lot for work, and my mum, whose English isn’t perfect, tries to read with my son. Lestori lets me record myself reading to him, so he can access books anytime he wants! It’s just so easy, convenient, and helps him get into the habit of enjoying books even when I’m away.

Reading should never be an academic exercise. Lestori dissolves the 'shame barrier' that holds so many children back, creating a sanctuary where learning feels safe and non-judgmental. It is incredibly high-tech but thoughtfully built to respect children’s natural energy and pace.

The conversations that I have with my child after reading with Lestori have become some of the most funny and interesting conversations I’ve had. Now he comes up with questions for me instead! I can see a clear difference in his spoken language development as well.

I used to think reading was about pronunciation and phonics. Lestori made the difference between “functional literacy” and “comprehension” clear for me to understand. Lestori’s scientifically backed guided reading questions are very convenient in building children’s critical thinking!
