We've integrated clever OCR technology into CookBook that will help you import physical recipes from books and magazines without the need to type them in yourself!
What is OCR? OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition, put simply, identifying text within images.
You can now take a picture of a recipe in magazines, newspapers and print outs & use our box selection tool to identify the title, steps and ingredients on the page (we find the other bits automatically for you) and our clever recipe scanner tool will convert your picture into a CookBook recipe. Simple!
Please note, you need to be connected to the internet to use this free function.
