There's an in-app web browser, and you can click "download" on most recipes from most websites and it will automatically parse the recipe (you can edit where needed) and save it to your recipes. It works perfectly without intervention from my part virtually all the time.

They also offer a bookmarklet (anyone remember those?), which I remember working well in Safari.

yeah, i saw that. i'm interested in how to transcribe paper recipes. i have a lot of cookbooks that i under-utilize at time of meal planning b/c they're captured in a "dumb" format, and I don't want to page through 15 books every weekend.
I recommend googling "name of cookbook" "name of recipe" and then you can usually find some blog post that took that recipe and "adapted" it, which usually means they just took the original and wrote a blog story around it.
