Cooking hands-free with your voice

Jul 15, 2026 · 4 min read

There's a moment in almost every recipe where your hands are covered in flour, oil or something you'd rather not smear across your screen — and that's exactly when you need to check the next step. Tamarin was built for that moment.

Talk, don't tap

Enable the microphone once and Tamarin's voice assistant takes over the tapping and scrolling. Say "read step" and it reads the current instruction aloud. Say "next step" and it moves on, keeping its place in the recipe so you don't have to.

The commands you'll actually use

  • next step / previous step — move through the recipe
  • read step — hear the current instruction again
  • show ingredients — hear exactly what you need
  • set a timer for 10 minutes — hands-free timers, spoken back to you

Enable the microphone once, then just cook. No tapping, no scrolling.

Guided from start to finish

Voice pairs with Tamarin's guided "Let's Cook" mode: a step-by-step flow with a progress bar and the exact ingredients highlighted for each step. Your phone can sit safely across the counter while you actually cook.

That's the whole idea — a cooking companion that keeps up with your hands, not the other way around.
