This might need to be a separate app. I used to use a fitness app called WithU that was primarily audio-based. I believe there's a market for something similar where users can select a recipe and listen as a voice of their choosing guides them through each step in real time, including waiting times while something cooks. A timer could be included, as well as the ability to listen to one's own music through the app while waiting for something to cook. This would be great for busy families like mine, where I'm juggling questions from the kids or distractions from work while trying to cook. If the feature could give an alarm when I need to return to the hob to stir a saucepan or similar, it would definitely minimize the multitasking stress in my life! I'm guessing AI-generated voices could be incorporated, or maybe a community of voice recipe artists could do the legwork.
Too far-fetched?
