Accessibility
Recipes you can hear, see and control by voice
Recipe websites assume you can read small text, scroll precisely and tap tiny buttons with clean hands. Lemme Cook takes any recipe and presents it the way accessible software should: one large step at a time, read aloud on request, with voice commands for everything you would otherwise tap.
Works with TikTok, Instagram and any recipe site.
Who it helps
Low vision
Each step fills the screen in large type with strong contrast, and “read aloud” speaks it. You never have to zoom into a page or find a link.
Dyslexia and reading fatigue
Hearing a step while seeing it in big, uncluttered text takes the strain out of a long recipe. “Repeat” plays it again as many times as you need.
Limited mobility or dexterity
“Next”, “back”, “go to step 3” and “set a timer” replace scrolling, tapping and typing. Large tap targets on either side of the screen work as a fallback.
Cooking with one hand, or none free
Carers, parents with a baby on one arm, and anyone with an injury can get through a recipe without putting anything down.
Designed to be forgiving
Commands are short, natural words rather than exact phrases. “Next”, “done”, “go on” and similar all move forward. Mishearing is handled gently: an unrecognised phrase shows a hint rather than doing something unexpected, and nothing is ever triggered by the app's own voice.
The screen stays on for as long as the recipe is open, so there is no rush to get back to it before it locks. If voice is not available on a device, the whole recipe is still usable by touch, with tap zones that cover each half of the screen.
Any recipe, not a special catalogue
Accessibility should not mean a smaller choice of food. Paste a link from any recipe site, a social video or a typed note, and it gets the same large-type, spoken, voice-controlled treatment. Family recipes typed into a note work just as well as a published one.

FAQ
Questions
Does Lemme Cook work with a screen reader?
It is built with standard, labelled controls so screen readers can use it. For cooking, most people find the built-in “read aloud” and voice commands quicker than navigating with a screen reader, because the current step is spoken directly.
Can I make the text bigger?
Steps already use large type that adapts to the length of the step. Your browser's zoom and text size settings apply on top of that.
Do I have to touch the screen at all?
After tapping Start cooking once and allowing the microphone, no. Steps, timers, the ingredient list and reading aloud are all available by voice.
What if I have trouble speaking clearly?
Commands are single words where possible, and the app only needs to catch the command word, not a full sentence. Touch controls remain available throughout.
Is it free?
Yes. 5 new recipes a month are free with no account, and the built-in recipes are always free.
