— THE TRANSLATION ISSUE

The best recipesare hiding inlanguagesyou don't speak.

Whisq turns YouTube videos, TikToks, blog posts, and handwritten notes into recipes you can cook.

The recipes you want to cook already exist.

    The perfect tantanmen is hidden in a Japanese chef's YouTube tutorial

    The biryani your grandmother makes is on a Hindi food blog you can't quite read

  • Illustration of a worn handwritten recipe card for tamales, with tamales and salsa verde on a wooden table

    The tamales your tía makes are on an index card that's sat in a drawer for twenty years

Whisq brings all of them into your kitchen

What Whisq does

Three things, done well

  • Whisq Extract: paste any recipe link from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, blogs, or photos

    Extract

    Paste a link from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or a blog. Upload a photo of a handwritten recipe. Whisq structures it, in any language.

  • Whisq Cook Mode: step-by-step recipe guidance with timers and ingredient details

    Cook

    Cook Mode guides you step by step. Timers, ingredient callouts, and substitutions when you're missing something.

  • Whisq Plan: organize meals across cuisines with multilingual recipe support and a shopping list

    Plan

    Save what you love. Build a week of meals. Get a grocery list organized by aisle — no more roaming the store.

My mom's food is home, and without being able to make it, home felt out of reach.

What I needed was not more inspiration. I needed fewer decisions.
