Almost 2 years ago I did this with ChatGPT. It was soon after you could feed it images as input IIRC. It worked very well. I settled on AWS Textract + ChatGPT to save money and was able to get it to well under 1 cent to take an image and turn it into a recipe you could export to Paprika (and others). I never pursued it further but it was a fun little side project.

At this point I don’t think I’d do the Textract step since LLMs have gotten way better and cheaper. Also you lose some info/context when the model only gets the post-OCR data.
