How to Digitize Physical Cookbooks
Turn your heavy physical cookbooks into a searchable digital library. Scan recipes from any book into Minichef.
Cookbooks are beautiful, but they aren’t searchable, and you can’t easily take them to the grocery store.
Minichef lets you selectively digitize your favorite recipes from your physical cookbook collection.
How it works
Use Minichef’s built-in scanner to pull recipes right off the page.
- Open Minichef and tap the + button.
- Select Scan or Upload Image.
- Choose the camera and snap a clear photo of the cookbook page.
- Minichef’s AI will read the page and format it into a digital recipe you can keep forever.
Troubleshooting
“The pages are curved, and the text is distorted.” Try to flatten the book as much as possible for the photo. Good lighting (like natural daylight) also dramatically improves the scanning accuracy!
