I turned my mother-in-law's voice memos into a recipe book — 100% local open-source AI

Description and use

<p><em>This is a submission for the <a href="https://dev.to/challenges/hacktoberfest-weekend-2026-10-01">Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend</a>.</em></p> <h2> Who it's for </h2> <p>Odilia is my mother-in-law, and her cooking lives in voice memos. Decades of family recipes — including her Luxembourgish <em>Gromperekichelcher</em> (crispy potato fritters) — exist only as rambling WhatsApp audios she sends when one of us asks "how do you make that again?". Nobody ever scrolls back to find them, and nobody writes them down.</p> <p>So this weekend I built her <strong>voice-recipe-b
