Add a Personal Recording to any Children's Book
Our QR stamps save stories and precious voices for both everyday playback and lifelong keepsakes.
What Is ReadToMe?
ReadToMe stamps are special QR code stickers that transform any children's book into a voice recording. Stick one in a book, record yourself reading it, and that recording stays with that book forever.
Scan with Any Phone
Use any smartphone to scan the QR code. No app needed—just your phone's camera.
Record Your Voice
If no recording exists yet, you can record yourself reading the book right from your phone.
Lasts Forever
Once recorded, anyone who scans that stamp will hear your voice. The recording is stored forever in the cloud.
How It Works
Stick the Stamp
Place the QR code stamp inside the front or back cover of any children's book. Each stamp is unique and links to its own recording page.
Scan the QR Code
Use any smartphone camera to scan the QR code. It will take you to a recording page for that specific stamp.
Record or Listen
If no recording exists yet, you can record yourself reading the book. If a recording already exists, it will play automatically.
Share Forever
Anyone who scans that stamp—now or years from now—will hear the recording. It becomes a permanent part of that book.
What You Can Do With ReadToMe Stamps
Preserve Grandparent Voices
Have grandparents record their favorite stories. Years from now, your child can still hear grandma reading "Goodnight Moon" in her own voice.
Create Baby Shower Gifts
Give expecting parents stamps and have guests record bedtime stories. The new parents receive a library of voices from everyone who loves their baby.
Capture Growing Voices
Record your child reading the same book at different ages. Watch how their voice changes and their reading improves over time.
Build a Family Library
Have different family members record different books. Each person brings their own style and warmth to the stories they read.
Everyday Reading
Use stamps for daily story time. Kids can scan and listen while following along in the book, building reading skills naturally.
Long-Distance Connection
Family members far away can record books and send them. Your child can hear their voices anytime, bridging any distance.
The Magic is in the Versatility
Make your ReadToMe library full of warm, loving voices from family and friends of all ages. Here's what families are doing with ReadToMe stamps:
- Little ones reading guided stories - Capture your 3-year-old's first attempts at reading
- Older siblings recording for younger ones - Big brother reads "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" for baby sister
- Teachers tracking progress - Students record themselves at the beginning and end of the year to see how far they've come
- Parents away on business trips - Record bedtime stories before you leave so kids can hear your voice every night
- Postcards from vacation - One family put a stamp on a postcard and mailed it—the kids were thrilled to scan it when it arrived!
- Cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents - Everyone adds their own style and warmth to the family library
Kids will listen to these recordings over and over again. Families tell us they're so much more okay with the repetition when it's a warm, friendly voice sharing a story they love.

Stamps work great with any smartphone. But if you want your child to play books all by themselves—without needing your phone—we also make the ReadToMe Player.
