You can also use software to detect “cuts” in the video, which can be used to improve the frame-extraction over just getting six evenly spaced frames from the video.

Not the post author but I tried this with ffmpeg and failed. Do you (does anyone) want to share some pointers?

If the main challenge was 'not having the smartphone in the kitchen', then one possible solution could have been getting another screen dedicated to the kitchen. A tablet, a laptop, a small TV+Google Cast or such combination.

It seems to be a proper media for 'printing' a video.

Of course, choosing challenges and finding solutions is what drives fun.

PySceneDetect (https://www.scenedetect.com/) might be useful.

No need to spend hours trying to get the text extraction just right - pass the raw extraction into GPT and ask for it to give you the recipe.

I was thinking the same thing. Extraction and basic formatting of information from human language is something that LLMs excel at. Especially if the result is being shown to a human so small mistakes can be tolerated.
