Key Capabilities
Reads recipe-card shorthand
Handwritten recipes are full of abbreviations - tsp, tbsp, c, oz - and fractions like one-half and three-quarters. The tool is tuned to recognise cooking shorthand and quantities so your ingredient list comes out usable rather than scrambled.
Preserves ingredient and step structure
It keeps the ingredient list separate from the method steps where the original layout makes that clear, so the transcription reads like a recipe instead of one run-on paragraph.
Rescues faded heirloom cards
Old recipe cards are often stained, faded, or written in light pencil. The enhancement filter lifts contrast before OCR, recovering text from cards that are hard to read even with the naked eye.
How to Use
Photograph the recipe card
Lay the card flat in good light and capture the whole card. For faint pencil writing, get close and keep the shot sharp.
Convert the handwriting
Upload the image; the handwriting engine reads the ingredients and method, applying the enhancement filter to faded cards.
Tidy and save
Fix any misread quantities in the editor, then save the recipe as text for your app, blog, or family archive.
Common Use Cases

- Building a personal recipe app or blogHome cooks convert their handwritten collection into text to paste into a recipe manager, meal planner, or food blog.
- Scaling and converting quantitiesOnce a recipe is text, it is easy to double it, convert cups to grams, or paste it into a tool that adjusts servings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why digitize handwritten recipes?
Handwritten recipe cards fade over time, get stained with cooking ingredients, and can be lost. Digitizing them preserves the content permanently and makes them searchable, shareable with family members, and easy to organize into digital cookbooks. The original handwriting photo is preserved alongside the clean digital text.
Can it handle recipe-specific formatting?
The OCR engine extracts all text including ingredient lists, measurements, cooking times, and step-by-step instructions. While it outputs plain text (not structured recipe format), the results can be easily copied into recipe management apps or digital cookbooks.
Who uses this tool professionally?
Food bloggers digitize handwritten family recipes for online publication. Cookbook publishers convert handwritten chef recipes into editable text for manuscript preparation. Estate organizers preserve deceased relatives' recipe collections as digital family heirlooms.
Is my recipe kept private?
Yes. All processing happens locally in your browser. Your family's secret recipes are never uploaded to any server.
