QUICK ANSWERS
Before you start
Do I have to pay to try it?
No. The free plan includes 6 recipe extractions each month. Visit the pricing page if you need more.
Can I use it on my phone?
The Chrome extension runs on desktop Chrome. You can open your saved recipe library on the web from your phone or tablet.
What if my video will not extract?
Check that it is a cooking video rather than a Short, with a usable transcript. If the recipe is only shown visually, there may not be enough information to create a useful card.
Can I translate a recipe?
You can translate extracted ingredients and instructions into English. Check any unclear quantities or cooking terms against the source.
Your first recipe starts with a video.
Bring the inspiration. ChefScribe helps organise the cooking.
