                Using Python 3.x and Google Cloud Vision API to OCR scanned documents to extract structured data
              
          
    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:

                15 Questions to Ask During a Ruby Interview
              
          
    Originally published in June 2008
When hiring Ruby on Rails programmers, knowing the right questions to ask during an interview was a real challenge for me at first.  In 30 minutes or less, it's difficult to get a solid read on a candidate's skill set without looking at code they've previously written.  And in the corporate/enterprise world, I often don't have access to their previous work.
To ensure we hired competent ruby developers at my last job, I created a list of 15 ruby questions -- a ruby measuring stick if you will -- to select the cream of the crop that walked through our doors.
What to expect

Candidates will typically give you a range of responses based on their experience and personality.  So it's up to you to decide the correctness of their answer.
