Tell CookNest the recipe and let it write it for you
Say the ingredients and steps out loud and CookNest transcribes and structures them on its own. Perfect for saving the recipes that only live in someone's head.
You talk, CookNest structures it
Tell the recipe your way, no script. The AI separates ingredients from steps and leaves it ready.

For when you can't stop to type
The best moments to dictate a recipe instead of typing it.
Hands deep in the dough
You're cooking and don't want to smear the phone. Just dictate what you do as you go.
When someone tells it to you
Record your mum, your dad or your grandma explaining the recipe and keep it exactly as they tell it.

Frequently asked questions
How do I create a recipe by voice?
Open voice dictation in CookNest, tap to start recording and tell the recipe out loud. When you finish, the AI transcribes it and structures it into ingredients and steps.
Do I have to say the recipe in a specific order?
No. Speak naturally, like you'd explain it to someone. CookNest takes care of separating and ordering the ingredients and steps for you.
Can I record someone else explaining the recipe?
Yes, and it's one of its best uses: record your parents or grandparents while they tell it and CookNest turns it into a digital recipe that won't be lost.
Can I correct the recipe after dictating it?
Of course. After dictating you can edit any ingredient or step, adjust the servings and add your notes before saving.
Does it work even if I ramble or correct myself mid-sentence?
Yes. Even if you repeat yourself, hesitate or change your mind halfway, the AI keeps what matters and builds a clean recipe you can fine-tune afterwards.
How many recipes can I dictate?
The free plan includes a limited number of voice recipes. With CookNest Pro you can dictate as many as you like, with no limits.
