Why video recipes disappear at dinner
The amount you need was on screen for half a second.
A cooking video can show the technique beautifully and still be miserable to cook from. The caption says 'full recipe in bio,' the garlic amount is spoken once, and the oven temperature lives on slide six.
Shio checks the lighter sources first. A clean public link can parse in seconds. Text and image recovery often takes around 30 seconds; a full video usually takes 45 to 70 seconds. Complex or restricted posts can take longer.
Inside the app
The video stays useful without running the show.
Keep the source for the folding technique. Use the written copy for everything that should not require a scrub bar.
Share the post
Send the public post to Shio from the social app.
Review and keep it

How it works
Shio checks the easiest source before processing the whole video.
That order keeps simple imports fast and gives difficult posts more than one chance to produce a complete recipe.
- 01
Share the public post
Use the social app's Share button, or paste the public URL into Shio.
- 02
Check linked text
Shio looks for a recipe in the caption, creator link, and visible carousel text.
- 03
Recover audio or video
If the written sources are incomplete, Shio can use spoken instructions and on-screen text.
- 04
Review before saving
Confirm amounts, times, and any wording the creator left intentionally loose.
What Shio reads
The whole post, not just the caption.
Creators put recipe details wherever the platform gives them room. Shio checks each useful place instead of assuming one field contains dinner.
DM for recipe
Import the recipe link or message the creator sends after you comment.
Link in bio
Follow the public recipe link when the post points somewhere else for the full method.
Carousel images
Read ingredients and steps printed across multiple slides.
On-screen text
Catch amounts, temperatures, and times that appear inside the video.
Spoken instructions
Use available audio when the method is explained rather than written.
Creator credit
Keep the original post attached to the saved recipe.

Frequently asked questions
Straight answers.
Can Shio turn a recipe video into text?
Yes. Shio can use the public caption, linked recipe, carousel images, spoken audio, and visible text to make structured ingredients and steps.
How long does a video recipe import take?
A clean link can parse in seconds. Text and image recovery often takes around 30 seconds. Full video processing commonly takes 45 to 70 seconds, though platform restrictions and longer videos can add time.
Does it work when the recipe says 'comment for recipe'?
Yes, once you have the recipe link or message the creator sends. Share that destination with Shio so the saved recipe keeps a verifiable source.
What if the video never states an amount?
Shio gives you a recipe to review. An unstated amount should not be treated as though the creator supplied it, so check the original and edit the copy before cooking.
