This was useful information. Testing this was on my todo list for weeks now: I read about these limitations in the Cloud Vision OCR API docs, but could not believe that they would indeed not provide data at the word or region level. Anyone has any idea why? I mean, they must have this data internally and it is key for useful OCR. Currently I am using the free ocr api at https://ocr.space/OCRAPI for my projects. It also has a corresponding chrome extension called "Copyfish", https://github.com/A9T9/Copyfish
