If you can use the page code instead then you have the information of which blocks of text belong together, and you know with 100% accuracy what character the text contains. And you also have additional information such as which elements are interactive, and, if semantic tags are used correctly, which part is the header, main content, or such.
Besides, scraping can be done with OCR too. Both softwares can use the same tricks, so if screen readers can work using a workaround, then scraping can work with that same workaround too.
