How Taste10 learns your taste
Taste10 learns your taste in three ways: a short setup when you start, quick questions about individual foods, and your ratings of things you have actually eaten or drunk. Every answer and every rating makes its scores more personal, and your taste portrait shows what it has learned.
1. A short setup
When you start, you tell Taste10 what you like: how you feel about sweet, sour, bitter, salty, savoury and spicy, which textures you enjoy, how adventurous you are, and which cuisines you love. It takes a few minutes and gives Taste10 a first picture of your palate.
2. Quick questions about foods
Next come short rounds about individual foods and drinks, one at a time, from "Love it" to "Can't stand it", or "Never tried it". There is no wrong answer: your first instinct is what counts. You can stop any time and come back later, and every answer is saved as you go.
3. Ratings of what you actually tried
After you scan something and try it, you can tell Taste10 how it really was. That is the strongest thing you can teach it, because it is real experience rather than a guess.
What you get from it
- Scores that fit you: a personal score from 0 to 10 for any food, drink, dish or menu you photograph, with the reason why.
- Your taste portrait: the picture Taste10 has of your palate, which changes as it learns. More about your taste portrait.
- Taste Insights: a running count of everything you have taught Taste10.
Your taste can change, and Taste10 keeps up
Tastes change over time (see What is an acquired taste?). Because Taste10 keeps learning from your ratings, its scores move with you.

Questions and answers
How long does the Taste10 setup take?
A few minutes. You describe your taste, answer some quick questions about foods and pick the cuisines you enjoy.
Do I have to answer every quick question?
No. You can stop any time and continue later. Every answer is saved as you go, and "Never tried it" is a perfectly good answer.
What teaches Taste10 the most?
Rating things you have actually eaten or drunk. A real experience tells Taste10 more than any guess.
