Here’s what we read
The check screen. Everything can be changed before you save.
Where to save
Starts ticked on where you pressed Capture: on a kitchen’s tab, it goes to that kitchen; on My Recipes, to My Recipes. Tick more if you want it in several places — each is a separate copy.
Already there?
If that kitchen already has a recipe with the same name, choose: replace it, add it as a separate recipe, or don’t add it.
Spelling
The AI quietly fixes spelling and cooking words. It never changes amounts.
AI imports
Each photo or voice capture uses one. Free: 5 in total. Paid: 50 a month.
