Your cookbook shelf, in your pocket

Cookbooks are wonderful and completely un-searchable. When you want that one soup recipe, you're flipping through hundreds of pages hoping you remember which book it was in. DishCapture is a recipe scanner that turns any printed page into a digital recipe you can actually find — without retyping a word.

Point your camera at a cookbook page, a recipe card, or a magazine clipping and DishCapture reads it, pulling the title, ingredients, and steps into a clean card. Scan your favourites once and your whole shelf becomes a searchable library you can carry to the kitchen, the grocery store, or a friend's house.
