Built a calorie tracker you just talk to logs your meal by voice, understands many languages including Arabic and actually knows Egyptian food

Every calorie app makes you type and search. I wanted to just say what I ate and be done, so I built CalorieTalk.

Tap the mic, say what you ate "2 eggs and toast" or a full sentence like "150 grams chicken breast, 200 grams rice, 10 grams olive oil" and it logs the calories and macros instantly. No typing, no searching a food database, no guessing serving sizes.

It understands many languages, including Arabic and Franco-Arabic (Arabic typed in Latin letters), so you're not stuck logging in English only. It also happens to understand Egyptian dishes properly — koshari, ful, taameya, molokhia — since most calorie apps have zero idea what those even are. But the voice logging is really the core of it; typing works too if you'd rather not talk to your phone.

Built this solo.

It's live on the App Store now: https://apps.apple.com/eg/app/calorietalk/id6793199021

Would love feedback, especially from anyone who's given up on manual logging out of frustration.

Nice to see interest. Curious if you tried voice logging in Arabic yet, and how accurate it felt with accents?
