Why a long video is harder to cook from
A twenty-minute cooking video is a lovely thing to watch and an awful thing to follow with wet hands. The amount you need is somewhere around minute twelve, and finding it again means scrubbing back through the video with a floury thumb. MealWisp turns the whole video into a recipe you can read.
What MealWisp reads
It transcribes the audio and samples frames to catch on-screen text, then fuses the two into an ingredient list with amounts, numbered steps and timings. Every recipe shows its source and an AI-assisted label. If a creator measures by eye, the recipe can only say what was said or shown, so read it once before you cook.
Which videos work
MealWisp can read public videos. A video that is private, or shared only with a group or with friends, can only be opened by those people, so MealWisp cannot fetch it. The same goes for videos that have been deleted since you saved them.
After the recipe is saved
Scale the servings and every amount follows. Open cook mode to follow one step at a time with a timer on each step, or have the recipe read aloud. Saved recipes are kept on your phone, so they are there with no signal. Importing a new video needs a connection.
What it costs
Free includes 5 conversions a month and videos up to 5 minutes. Plus includes 80 conversions and videos up to 30 minutes, and Pro 160 conversions and up to 60 minutes. Limits reset on the 1st of the month and there are no daily caps.
