Restaurants & Food

• Famous & fancy: Patagonia Sur
• Pizzeria Guerrin excellent pizza, maybe the best in the city
• Some cute cafes, all equally good, nice for breakfast or lunch: Malvon, Oui Oui
• Historic cafe: Las Violetas
• STEAK: some good places I've been are:
  • Social la Lechuza - ok, probably not the best steak in town, but for ambiance this place is neat, it's a social club with an owl (la lechuza) theme, walls are covered in customer drawings of, yes, owls. I like the joint.

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:

CSV to HTML (cli)

Just run:

$ ruby csvtohtml.rb data.csv > table.html

You can customize the table's id, table's classes, header's classes and field's classes. You can also use linux pipes and it's only one small file long with NO dependencies.

Pseudo installation (not needed)
