Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have recipes in the form of jpeg files, which i can currently only import by tipping them in manually.
Describe the solution you'd like
It would be nice to integrate some form of OCR, Image to Text recognition. There are some open source projects out there, maybe one could "steal" some code of them to make this feature possible. Here is an example --> https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract
Describe alternatives you've considered
There are websites out there which do provide OCR, maybe one could integrate these instead? Example --> https://www.onlineocr.net (first google hit, there are many more out there)
I am no programmer and i do not know how hard it is to implement such feature. I just wanted to share this idea here.
