Hey, I’m Leo Sterling.

I build the tools that turn a blank page into a finished book

Software for people who publish their own work. Five products so far — every one of them exists because I got tired of doing something by hand that a computer should have been doing for me.

EchoBooks AI

Children’s workbooks where every printed page reads itself out loud.

Every page carries a QR code. A child points any phone camera at it and hears the word, hears it spelled out, hears it in a sentence, then is asked to say it back — so the parent never has to sit there and read the book for them.

Why I build these

EchoBooks started because I kept reading the same one-star review under children’s workbooks on Amazon:

“My child needed me for every single page.”

A parent buys a workbook hoping for twenty quiet minutes and gets a reading job instead. Everybody treats that as a law of physics — paper cannot talk, so of course an adult has to sit there.

It is not a law of physics. It is a QR code and somewhere to put the audio.

That is the shape of everything I make. Find the thing everyone has quietly accepted as unavoidable, then go and check whether it actually is.

If something I built breaks, you email me and you get me — not a ticket queue.
