Coming up on Hands on Tech, let's take a look at setting up a way to bulk import recipes.

Yes, an interesting question with, I hope, an interesting solution.

Stay tuned.

This is Twit.

Hello and welcome to Hands on Tech.

If you haven't tuned in before, this is the show where I, Micah Sargent, take your tech questions

and I do my best to answer them.

And I think I do a pretty good job, so, you know, stay tuned.

This is the time where I remind you all you can can send in your questions, HOT at Twitter TV, to get in touch with me.

Yes, it does rhyme.

And I can't wait to hear what questions you have, and I can't wait to tackle them.

This week's question comes in from Bob. Bob writes the following.

Hey Micah, I think I have a good one for you, and any help and insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

I used to subscribe to Blue Apron and have a large stack of their recipe cards on my kitchen counter.

I'd love to scan these in and import them to my recipe manager of choice,

Mela. I've cobbled together a series of steps I can take to get close to a solution,

but it requires a lot of work on my end. Here is what I came up with. I'd love your ideas.

So here is Bob's solution. Bob says, I scan the card, a stack at a time, using my office's

large multifunction printer, which sends me a separate two-page PDF file for each recipe card scanned

front and back. It also OCRs the files. I upload the files one at a time into copilot and give

it a prompt explaining how to format the JSON code that Maila specifies.

Copilot gives me the code and I copy and paste it into a text file and save it as a Maila recipe file.
