Digitize handwritten recipes

Digitize handwritten recipes before they fade away

Preserve the recipes that matter most

Handwritten recipe cards are some of the most precious things in a kitchen — and the most fragile. Ink fades, cards get stained, and a whole family's cooking history can live on a few index cards in one drawer. DishCapture lets you digitize handwritten recipes so they're preserved for good.

Take a photo of a handwritten card and DishCapture reads it, turning the writing into a clean, structured digital recipe. The original stays safe in the drawer, but now there's a searchable backup you can cook from, share with family, and never worry about losing to a spill or a move.

How it works

Lay out the card

2

Take a photo

DishCapture reads the handwriting and pulls out the ingredients and steps.

3

Keep it forever

The recipe becomes a clean digital card you can search, cook from, and share with family.
