Save and review the recipe first
Voice help works best after the recipe is already cleaned up. Save the recipe from a supported post, website, photo, screenshot, note, or text, then review the ingredients and steps.
Voice-controlled recipe app
Cook from saved recipes with voice help on iPhone.
Bytful helps turn saved recipes into reviewed cards you can follow in Cooking Mode. Basic Cooking Mode is free; Pro adds hands-free voice help and deeper Chef Byte support while your hands are busy.
Start free with up to 7 saved recipes. Eligible subscribers can try Bytful Pro free for 7 days.
Basic Cooking Mode gives saved recipes larger step cards and a cooking-focused view.
Pro voice help can move between steps, repeat instructions, read ingredients, and control timers.
Chef Byte can help with substitutions, timing questions, step explanations, and cooking questions inside the recipe flow.
How to save it
A simple capture flow before the recipe gets lost.
2
Open Cooking Mode
Open the saved recipe and start Cooking Mode so the recipe appears in a focused view with larger steps and cooking timers.
3
Turn on voice help when available
With Bytful Pro, turn on voice activation inside Cooking Mode, then use commands such as next step, repeat, read ingredients, start timer, stop timer, or go back.
4
Ask for help inside the recipe
Use Chef Byte for substitution ideas, timing questions, step explanations, measurements, and cooking technique without leaving the recipe screen.
Hands busy
Recipes should be easier to follow at the stove.
A recipe saved from a social post, website, or screenshot can be hard to read while cooking. Cooking Mode keeps the recipe focused and easier to scan.
- Larger recipe steps
- Cooking-focused view
- Timers for timed steps
Voice commands
Use simple commands after voice is on.
Bytful does not require a wake word inside Cooking Mode. After voice activation is on, supported commands help you move through the recipe.
- Next step or go back
- Repeat the current instruction
- Read ingredients and manage timers
Cooking help
Keep questions tied to the recipe.
Chef Byte can help when a step is unclear, but it is cooking assistance rather than a food-safety authority.
- Ask about swaps and timing
- Clarify steps or techniques
- Check labels, allergens, doneness, and temperatures yourself
