Way over my head Pede but I was thinking after I posted that they probably couldn't.

You know. Because of the pixels.

OCR means Optical Character Recognition. The goal is to take a picture of text and convert it into text. Depending on the software it can take a little while to process one image. For this reason I'm not surprised that Reddit isn't using OCR on all images posted because there are too many.
