Frequently asked questions
Can I digitize handwritten recipes?
Yes. CookNest reads both printed and handwritten text. The clearer the writing and the photo, the better the result, and you can always check it before saving.
Does it work with cookbooks and magazines?
Yes. Take a photo of the cookbook page or the magazine clipping and the AI separates the title, the ingredients and the steps.
Can I use a photo I already have?
Yes. Take the photo on the spot or pick it from your gallery. If the recipe runs over two pages, add up to two photos.
What if something comes out wrong?
Before saving you can fix any ingredient or step, add anything missing and change the order. You always have the final say.
Is the recipe saved for good?
Yes. Once digitized, it lives in your cookbook and works offline too, even if the paper gets lost or damaged.
Is digitizing free?
Digitizing from a photo is a CookNest PRO feature. The free plan includes 3 automatic imports a week from links and videos, and as many recipes as you want to type in yourself.
