How to Convert TikTok Recipes to Text (The Easy Way)

TikTok has become the go-to place for discovering amazing new recipes. From feta pasta to cloud bread, the trends are endless. But cooking from a fast-paced 60-second video is a nightmare:

• You have to constantly pause and rewind with messy hands.
• Ingredients zip by too fast to read.
• Measurements are often buried in the comments.
• The phone screen turns off right when you need the next step.

The most obvious way is to sit down with a notepad (or your Notes app) and manually write everything down.

Pros:

• Free.
• You can write it exactly how you understand it.

Cons:

• Extremely time-consuming.
• Easy to miss steps or ingredients.
• You typically have to watch the video 10+ times to catch everything.

Another common method is spamming the screenshot button whenever text appears on screen.

Pros:

• Faster than writing.
• Captures the visual look of the dish.

Cons:

• Clutters your photo gallery with dozens of random food pics.
• Text is often unreadable or covered by captions/buttons.
• You still have to swipe through multiple photos while cooking.
• Not searchable later.

That's exactly what OnlyRecipe does. It uses advanced AI to watch the video for you, read the captions, listen to the audio, and extract a perfect recipe card.

How it works:

1. Find a recipe on TikTok: Tap the "Share" arrow on the video.
2. Share to OnlyRecipe: Select the OnlyRecipe app from your share sheet (or copy the link and open the app).
3. Let AI do the magic: OnlyRecipe processes the video in seconds.
4. Cook comfortably: You get a clean list of ingredients (with automatic grocery list creation) and step-by-step instructions.
