Reading a menu in a language you don't speak
With Taste10 you photograph the menu, and it tells you in your own language what the dishes are and which ones fit your taste best, ranked, with the reason why. It works with menus in scripts you cannot read, such as Japanese, Thai or Greek.
How it works
- Photograph the menu. You can take up to three photos at once, for a menu with several pages.
- See what is on it, in your app language. Dishes with a foreign name get their everyday name in brackets, so you know what you are ordering.
- See what fits you best. Taste10 ranks the dishes for your personal taste and explains why each one suits you or not.
Why a translation is not enough
A translation tells you that "Gaeng Keow Wan Gai" means green chicken curry. It does not tell you whether you will enjoy it. Taste10 does both: it explains the dish in plain words and predicts how much you personally will like it.
Tips for eating abroad
- Photograph the whole menu, not one page, so the best match for you is not missed.
- Read the reason, not only the score. It tells you what to expect, for example that a dish is very sour or very rich.
- Rate what you tried afterwards. Your next menu, anywhere in the world, will fit you even better.
Before you travel, our Eating Abroad guides explain the classic dishes of many cuisines.
