How to Scan Handwritten Family Recipes

Preserve your family's handwritten notebooks and recipe cards. Digitize them with Minichef.

Handwritten recipe cards and notebooks are cherished family heirlooms, but unfortunately, they are prone to spills, stains, and getting lost.

Minichef helps you preserve these memories by turning handwritten notes into digital text.

How it works

Minichef’s AI is powerful enough to read most handwriting and turn it into a structured recipe.

  1. Open the Minichef app and tap +.
  2. Tap Scan or Upload Image.
  3. Use the camera to take a photo of the handwritten card or notebook page.
  4. Minichef will interpret the handwriting and digitize the recipe!

Troubleshooting

“It misread Grandma’s cursive.” Handwriting can be tricky! If Minichef struggles with messy or faded cursive, the resulting text might have some typos. Fortunately, you can easily tap and edit the draft in Minichef to correct any mistakes before saving.
