Logging a Meal with a Description

Signos employs AI-powered Natural Language Processing (NLP) to allow you to simply describe your meal and create a log from that description. 

Tips for describing your meal:

• Speak clearly, and don’t pause for too long. Once you stop speaking, the app stops listening.
• Try to keep it simple! If you need to log the specific brand, searching for it or scanning the barcode may be a better option. 

Instructions for logging a meal using NLP:

Step One: Go to the Log tab and select "Log your meals"

Step Two: Select the "Describe" icon at the top

Step Three: Provide a description of your meal by speaking into your phone’s microphone.

For example, say "Two scrambled eggs, toast, and a handful of blueberries." The app will write back to you what it heard.

Step Four: Once you stop speaking, the app will automatically stop listening. 

• • If you want to add to the description, tap the "microphone" icon.
  • If you want to start over, tap the "redo" icon.
  • You can also tap "Use Keyboard" at the bottom if you would prefer to type out the description yourself.

Step Five: Once you're satisfied with your description, tap the "arrow" icon and Signos' NLP AI will build your meal from your description.

Step Six: Once it's finished, you can review the items and quantities that Signos added from your description.

You can also use this screen to manually edit, add, or remove items from the meal. When you're finished, select "Save Meal."
