Why voice is faster than typing
Most meals take five seconds to describe out loud and a minute or more to search and enter in a classic tracker. That gap is why people stop logging.
Voice is also handy when your hands are busy: walking home, carrying groceries, right after the gym.
Talk to it like a person
You don't need special phrasing. "Same breakfast as yesterday", "add a protein shake" or "the pasta was a big portion" all work.
You can ask questions the same way: "How much protein do I still need?" or "How was my week?".
Voice replies you can switch off
By default the bot answers a voice note with a voice note plus text, and a text message with text. Send /voice to always get voice replies or /text to turn them off.

Common questions
Which languages does voice logging understand?
It works in English and in most other common languages. The bot replies in the language you speak.
Do I need a separate app?
No. It uses the voice note button that's already in Telegram.
Can I log weight and workouts by voice too?
Yes. Say "81.4 kilos this morning" or "60 minutes of boxing" and it logs them.
How much does it cost?
It's free for 3 days with no card. After that it's $9.99 a month.
