I built ChefVoiceAI.com after noticing a common problem in this Reddit thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Cooking/comments/1i1tqr1/how_do_you_deal_with_messy_hands_and_recipes/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Cooking/comments/1i1tqr1/how_do_you...
The problem: 1. Cooks struggle with messy hands while trying to follow recipes. 2. Existing voice assistants can't navigate complex recipes or set context-aware timers. 3. Phones and printed recipes become unusable with greasy fingers.
Technical solution: 1. Voice-controlled recipe navigation with natural language understanding. 2. Dynamic timer setting based on recipe steps. 3. Cross-device sync using WebSocket connections. 4.Attempted with several speech-to-text techs and a custom NLU layer (Python/Next.js).
Key challenges: 1. Handling ambiguous voice commands in a noisy kitchen environment 2. Synchronizing updates when having multiple timers 3. Normalizing recipes from various formats (PDFs, websites, handwritten scans)
Current stack: 1. Supabase for real-time database 2. Custom voice pipeline (very low latency, check out this live demo video: https://youtu.be/XKxoHOIxyjA https://youtu.be/XKxoHOIxyjA)
I'd appreciate feedback on: 1. Preferred recipe import formats 2. Commonly used voice command patterns while cooking 3. Additional timer management / task-performing features you'd find useful.
There's a 7-day free trial available. I'm around to answer questions and discuss the technical aspects of the project.I'm around to answer questions and discuss the technical aspects of the project here: 1. https://x.com/ShenSeanChen https://x.com/ShenSeanChen 2. https://discord.gg/TKKPzZheua https://discord.gg/TKKPzZheua 3. https://linkedin.com/in/shen-sean-chen https://linkedin.com/in/shen-sean-chen
