About RecipeHub: Recipe Scanner
SCAN FROM ANYWHERE
• Camera: photograph a printed or handwritten recipe
• Photos: pick one or several photos or screenshots (up to 10). A recipe that runs over two pages is read in order and combined into one
• PDF: open a recipe saved as a PDF; up to 10 pages are read at a time
TWO WAYS TO READ IT
• Free scan: reads printed text on your phone, in English, Afrikaans and other Latin-alphabet languages. Nothing is uploaded, no account, always free
• AI recognition: understands handwriting, columns and busy layouts. Uses 1 credit per photo or PDF page
YOU SEE THE COST FIRST
Before any credit is used, RecipeHub shows exactly what a read will cost. Very large photos (over 8,000 pixels) are read in parts, 1 credit per part, and you confirm the total first. If a read fails, the credit is returned automatically.
CHECK AND CORRECT
Every result opens in an editor: fix the title, ingredients (amount, unit, name) and steps, add step timers and tidy the wording before anything is saved.
SEND IT WHERE IT LIVES
• Send to My Baking Book or My Cooking Book
• Share as a PDF by WhatsApp, email, Google Drive or any app
• Every capture is kept in History so you can reopen it later
SIMPLE, FAIR CREDITS
• Credit packs of 10, 50 and 200: one-time purchases, no subscription
• Credits never expire; Google Play shows prices in your own currency

YOUR PHOTOS AND PRIVACY
• Free scan happens on your phone
• With AI recognition, the photo or PDF page is sent to Anthropic's Claude to be read, and only when you choose to use a credit
• Credit purchases and your balance are checked with our billing service using a random install ID. No personal details are sent
• No ads and no account
PERFECT FOR

PERMISSIONS
