About YellChef: Hands Free Recipes
Yell at your phone. It'll listen. YellChef shows you one recipe step at a time. When you're ready for the next one, don't tap — shout. That's the whole interface. It doesn't listen for commands. It listens for a raised human voice, and moves on. Yell anything you like, in any language. Timer going off? Shout it down. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a recipe. 2. One step at a time, in text you can read across the kitchen. 3. Raise your voice. Next step. WHAT YOU GET - Shout-to-advance controls — no commands, no wake word - Works in any language, because it isn't listening to words - Clattering pans and extractor fans won't trigger it. Only a voice will - Timers built into the steps that need them - Browse by meal: breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks - Favorites for the ones you cook on repeat - Fully offline — no signal, no problem - Tap controls too, for when the neighbors are asleep PRIVATE BY DESIGN Nothing is transcribed, because nothing needs to be. Audio is processed on your device, never recorded, never stored, never sent anywhere. No account. No ads. Just a recipe and a raised voice.
