FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

Using Python 3 + Google Cloud Vision API's OCR to extract text from photos and scanned documents

Just a quickie test in Python 3 (using Requests) to see if Google Cloud Vision can be used to effectively OCR a scanned data table and preserve its structure, in the way that products such as ABBYY FineReader can OCR an image and provide Excel-ready output.

The short answer: No. While Cloud Vision provides bounding polygon coordinates in its output, it doesn't provide it at the word or region level, which would be needed to then calculate the data delimiters.

On the other hand, the OCR quality is pretty good, if you just need to identify text anywhere in an image, without regards to its physical coordinates. I've included two examples:

API Client Design

When working with API clients there are several distinct areas of concern. Each of these happen in sequence and are used with the goal of receiving a Domain Model at the end.

• Routing
• Configuration
• Logging
• Connection Handling
• Error Handling
• Request Building

Here are all the classes from Bootstrap 3 (version 3.1.1).

Method of extraction:

1.  Download Bootstrap 3 and rename bootstrap.css as "bootstrap.html"
2.  Add the following 24 lines of code to the very bottom of the bootstrap.html file:

    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
    <script src="http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/lodash.js/2.4.1/lodash.min.js"></script>
    <script>
