Watch a quick demo

What ChefScribe extracts
ChefScribe aims to pull the key cooking info from the video and format it into something you can actually cook from. Results are best when the creator clearly explains ingredients and steps.
- ✓ Ingredients
- ✓ Step-by-step instructions
- ✓ Timings (when mentioned)
- ✓ Serving size
- ✓ Nutrition info (when available)
- ✓ Clean, readable recipe layout
Note: some videos don’t explicitly state ingredients or steps (or they flash them on-screen briefly). In those cases, extraction may be limited.
