Sometimes the best recipes aren't online. They're in a cherished cookbook, a note from a friend, or a simple text file. For these situations, Recp.ai's text analysis feature is the perfect tool to calculate the nutritional value of homemade food.

How Text Analysis Works

Our system is built to understand free-form text. When you paste your ingredients, our AI performs several tasks:

  • It separates each line item into a distinct ingredient.
  • It identifies the quantity (e.g., "1", "1/2", "250").
  • It recognizes the unit (e.g., "cup", "g", "large").
  • It isolates the core ingredient name for searching.

This allows you to get a detailed ingredient nutrition breakdown without needing a URL.

Example: Analyzing a Simple List

Let's say you have the following list for a simple pancake recipe:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter
  • Step 1: Copy this text.
  • Step 2: Select the "Text" option on Recp.ai and paste it into the text area.
  • Step 3: Click "Get Nutrition from Text".

Our tool will instantly process this list and provide a full nutritional analysis. It's the most direct way to use a recipe macro calculator for your own custom or offline recipes.

Your Recipe, Your Nutrition Data
