If you have a stack of recipes to enter into FamilyCookbookProject.com<\/a> but dread the typing, there’s an easier way! You can use the speech-to-text feature on your phone or computer to dictate your recipes. The text can then be edited and pasted into the Add a Recipe form in your editor account.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Using Your Mobile Phone<\/h3>\n

For iPhone users:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open the Notes app and create a new note.<\/li>\n
  2. Tap the microphone icon at the bottom right of the keyboard.<\/li>\n
  3. Start dictating your recipe. The phone will convert your speech into text.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You might need to do some editing, but it\u2019s a great timesaver!<\/p>\n

    Using Microsoft Word<\/h3>\n

    On both Mac and PC:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Ensure your computer has a microphone (built-in or external).<\/li>\n
    2. Open a Word document and go to the Home tab.<\/li>\n
    3. Click the microphone icon labeled “Dictate” on the right side of the menu bar.<\/li>\n
    4. Start speaking clearly and include punctuation by saying “period,” “comma,” etc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Using Dedicated Apps<\/h3>\n

      There are various apps available for dictation, but the built-in features of your phone and Word are usually sufficient.<\/p>\n

      Dictating your recipes can save a lot of time. Once you have the text in a document, simply cut and paste it into the Add a Recipe form, and you\u2019re done!<\/p>\n

      By the way, this entire article was dictated on an iPhone. Good luck!<\/p>\n
