Fine
Welcome to uipath community
—screen scrapping can take any kind data from a screen whether it’s a image or individual elements as it has three options in it like FULL TEXT, NATIVE TEXT for elements based and OCR TEXT for image based regardless of data format whether as a text or table (which can be converted to a datatable with generate datatable activity)

BUT
—Data scrapping can take only table structure data that too only for elements based like it wound be able to take image kind of tables

For more details

Hope this would help you
