Accessibility should be enhanced to read text from image. Enduser shouldn't care about how he should share an information. How hard is it to read a font from a text?
That is not a correct analogy because printing and scanning a document is less convenient than just forwarding the email. But here, most people are comfortable taking a ss and share it. That's what they're learnt. So they keep doing that.
That's why the OCR tools have to be improved. They should atleast be able to read the top 10 most used fonts in a language without issues.
