Manually add screenshot etc. to failed Instagram import

Feature Request

For some Instagram posts, the recipe and ingredients are not included in the description, but in one of the pictures.

It would be great if there was an option to manually add a screenshot of the recipe so that the AI could import everything from the picture. Currently, when I import a recipe from Instagram, I only get an empty entry in Mr Cook containing the picture and the title.

As a bonus, it would be great if the import tool could scan the additional pictures and provide an option if text is found.

    Hi @Urfin thank you for your feedback. It seems you are looking for the "Scanner" feature in Mr. Cook. You can upload multiple screenshots, and the AI will extract all the recipe information from the images. Additionally, you can paste raw text yourself.

    Does this work for you? If not, what would be a better flow for you?

      Currently, my process is as follows: I share the link from Instagram to Mr. Cook to get a suitable image, headline and the linked source in the recipe.

      Then I create a second recipe in which I use the scanner feature to analyse a screenshot of the recipe and finally copy the text from it into the first recipe and delete the second recipe, which I had only created for the scanner feature.

      It would be easier if, for example, the scanner feature could be applied to additional images after creating a recipe. Currently, the scanner feature is only available when creating a new recipe.

        Yes that makes sense. Thanks for sharing!
