Mobile app automation: any way to read text?

Hello. I saw someone asking for a Tinder Swiper that would be able to check how old each person's picture is.
How can someone do that, assuming that we're using Bluestacks?
Input is probably really easy to automate, but how do you get information for what's on the screen?
I have no clue at all other than checking for the right pixel colors??? But that wouldn't be very effective for reading text. Maybe reading memory?

Would the same thing be easier on a real phone?

First suggestion: Why not automate the Web Version of Tinder. Would be a lot simpler

Second Suggestion: Use "OCR". Take a screenshot and extract the text with some OCR library...

Please let me know if you achieve this with something fancy like Reading Memory, I would love to learn how that could be done

I mentioned reading memory because there is software called "hooks" that actually extracts text from memory. (Ex. Textractor)
OCR might be an interesting option.
I just don't actually know how feasible is this, are all Tinder bots web-based currently?

I don't know much about Tinder Bots but I do know if I need to design a Bot for Tinder, I will certainly make it Web Based. Either by sniffing their APIs directly and mimicking it or by Automating the WebApp itself.

The mobile App will be like the last of the last option for me

Just because someone ask for something doesn't mean you can actually do it. The closest thing that I can think of is looking into the source code for every image that comes up but it won't tell you when the image was taken only modified
