About this app

Tericipe is a recipe scanner and recipe box for the recipes you actually cook — the ones on index cards and printed recipe cards, and clipped from magazines. It's free to use, with no ads and no subscription.

Point your camera at a printed recipe and Tericipe types it up for you: title, ingredients, directions, time, and servings, all editable before you save. Less retyping, and no scrolling past someone's life story to find the ingredient list. It's a simple way to get a box of family recipes out of the kitchen drawer and into a recipe organizer you'll actually use.

CAPTURE
• Scan a printed recipe card or clipping with your camera — text recognition runs on your device
• Multi-page recipes: keep shooting pages, then type them up as one recipe
• Review and edit before anything is saved; some uncertain lines are flagged for you, but check every amount yourself
• Prefer to type? Enter a recipe by hand, no camera needed
• Scanning works offline; Save waits until you're connected

ORGANIZE
• Your whole recipe collection in one place, with photos — no limit on how many recipes you keep
• Group recipes into collections — weeknights, holidays, Grandma's box
• Search by keyword, and narrow by category, difficulty, or under 30 minutes

COOK
• Cooking Mode walks you through one step at a time
• The screen stays awake while you cook, so you are not tapping at it with flour on your hands

SHARE
• Send any recipe as a link — whoever you send it to needs no app and no account
• On Android with Tericipe installed, that same link opens right in the app, ready to save to their own recipe box
• Stop sharing whenever you want; the link stops working immediately for everyone who has it
• Your photos, your last name, and your account details are never part of what you share

YOUR RECIPES STAY YOURS
Recipes are private to your account unless you share one. You can delete your account and everything in it from inside the app — Profile, then Delete account — with no email to send and no waiting period.

TERICIPE PRO (optional, one-time purchase)
• Read handwritten recipe cards: when a scan can't read the handwriting, tap Read handwriting and that one photo is sent to Google's Gemini to read it. Up to 150 reads a month, with lines showing amounts, units, times and temperatures highlighted for you to check
• Print any recipe, or save it as a PDF to share, from the printer button at the top of a recipe
• Back up your recipe photos and profile picture to your account so they appear on every device you sign into
Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. Scanning printed recipes, organizing, collections, cooking, and sharing all work without it.

A FEW HONEST NOTES
• Scanning reads printed and typed text on your device. Handwritten cards need Tericipe Pro and an internet connection, one photo per read. Handwriting reading can make mistakes that look right, so check the recipe against the card before you cook.
• Photograph one recipe at a time, with the page upright and filling the frame. Tericipe asks for a retake when it spots a mixed-up page or an unusually wide shot, but it can't catch every bad read.
• Printed fractions like ½ and ¾ can be misread as whole numbers with no warning, so check every amount against the original before you save.
• Pages with two columns, sub-headings or more than one recipe on them, as in some community cookbooks, may come out jumbled, with lines moved or missing.
