This would be so useful. Was any thought or progress made on it. I’ve got allot family recipes typed out on paper (just not the time to retype them) |

I tried this feature today. It worked well for an english recipe, and reasonable for a Dutch recipe. Making it accept .jpg files would make it much better usable! |

Thanks a lot for the prompt reply!
You're right, there's a community article on the iOS shortcut for this
feature. Bad thing only that I'm an Android user.
I'm thinking about some work around e.g., converting pictures by OCR to
pdf, then to HTML and from there use the html page as URL to import to
mealie...

… Correct, we removed OCR a couple months back. We had no one interested in
supporting the feature and it added a ton of overhead to the application in
general.
IIRC, a community member added an iOS guide for how to setup a shortcut to
do this via AI. (don't quote me on the specifics, I don't use it)

Is it possible to import a whole recipe with plain text? This way you could use an external picture to text software and just paste the text into mealie. |

Following. I just set up Mealie for my wife and the first recipe she tried to add was from a cookbook. OCR would be a fantastic addition to this app (we are loving it so far!) |

Hey, wondering if maybe some GPT-4 call could be made to extract the recipes? Would be much more reliable than just OCR, but would require users to enter an OpenAI key. |

I asked Google Gemini how to use Google Gemini to import images to Mealie. As the conversation continued, I added the possible use of Tandoor's OCR tooling. Here is the conversation: https://g.co/gemini/share/449e5d162111 I'm thinking through a solution. |

The newest nightly has the ability to import via image using OpenAI: #3974; it can also optionally translate the recipe for you (with varying success depending on which model you use) |

This would remove the need for having to manually type in recipes that are in a recipe book or in a picture that someone shares with you. Google's Tesseract would probably be the best way to accomplish this. Getting the text in the image to a string would probably be the easy part. The hard part would be parsing the data to find the title, description. ingredients, method, etc. Since there are tons of different formats that a recipe could use this would be difficult.
I have a couple of idea of how this could be done but I am not sure what the best route would be. Does anyone have any experience with OCR? I am willing to try implementing this but I do not have any experience with OCR so it would take some trial and error.
