What app can read handwritten recipes?
Tradish reads handwritten recipe cards and turns them into organized digital recipes, with the title, ingredients, and steps separated automatically. You photograph the card and Tradish does the rest.
How do I scan an old recipe card to my phone?
Lay the card on a flat, well-lit surface, open Tradish, tap to add a recipe, and choose the photo scan option. Take the picture straight on and the app converts the handwriting into a structured recipe you can edit and cook from.
Does it work on faded or cursive handwriting?
Usually, yes. Clear lighting and a straight-on photo help most. Cursive, pencil, and faded ink can need a quick correction here and there, so Tradish always lets you review and edit the scanned recipe before you save it.
Can I edit a recipe after scanning it?
Yes. Every scanned recipe is fully editable. Fix anything the scan missed, adjust quantities, add notes, and drop it into a cookbook so it is easy to find later.
Is the recipe scanner free?
Tradish is free for up to five recipe imports per week, which covers scanning a stack of cards over a few sittings. Unlimited scanning and imports come with the paid plan.
