I've built a similar proof-of-concept HQ Trivia algorithm before[0], and from my simple tests, in most cases isn't any additional work needed, just naively send the OCRed question to Google. Of course, some questions don't work using this naive approach, which is why a similar HQ Trivia bot used riffed on this concept with unique (and clever) heuristics[1].
And yes, it is easier to work with a screenshot than a grainy image of text produced by a camera.

Edit: my HQ Trivia system was a simple 1-hour weekend project, so it is by no means perfect. Also, to prevent my Github from being taken down, none of the code is available.
