I just tested the Google Cloud Vision API to read the text, if exist, in a image.
Until now I installed the Maven Server and the Redis Server. I just follow the instructions in this page.
https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-vision/tree/master/java/text
Until now I was able to tested with .jpg files, is it possible to do it with tiff files or pdf??
I am using the following command:
java -cp target/text-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar com.google.cloud.vision.samples.text.TextApp ../../data/text/
Inside the text directory, I have the files in jpg format.
Then to read the converted file, I don't know how to do that, just I run the following command
java -cp target/text-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar com.google.cloud.vision.samples.text.TextApp
And I get the message to enter a word or phrase to search in the converted files. Is there a way to see the whole document transformed?
Thanks!

Pricing is tiered - the first 1000 units used each month are free, units 1001 to 5,000,000 are priced as marked, etc. If you pay in a currency other than USD, the prices listed in your currency on Cloud Platform SKUs apply.
An Optical Character Recognition(OCR) API helps you transcribe text from image files and PDF documents and receive the extracted data in a JSON/CSV/Excel or other file formats.
To use the Google Vision API, you have to sign up for a Google Compute Engine Account. GCE is free to try but you will need a credit card to sign up. From there you select a project (but My First Project is selected if you have just signed up). Then get yourself an API key from the lefthand menu.
In 2016 PDF and TIFF formats was not supported for Cloud Vision.
The accepted formats are : (taken from the the doc)
But now are added.
