Recipes live in screenshots: a blog post, a video caption, grandma's handwritten card. Cooking from them means scrolling with floury fingers.

Screenshot the recipe and ActionShot pulls the ingredients into a clean checklist — quantities preserved — ready for the store or the kitchen counter.

Why it works here

  • Ingredients with quantities, verbatim from the recipe.
  • Steps kept in order as supporting context.
  • One list for the store, same list for cooking.
  • Works with handwritten cards if clearly legible.

Questions

Does it scale quantities?

It preserves what the recipe says, including notes like 'double for Sunday'. It does not do math on servings.

Can it handle video captions?

Yes — screenshot the caption text and it extracts like any other visible text.

What if the photo is blurry?

Legibility matters. Sharp screenshots give the best results; unclear text lowers confidence rather than inventing items.
