To define if something can be done in real time, you have to define what that time limit is.
IMAQ does support OCR, shape, pattern, and color matching along with binary morphology and convolutions. OCR was demonstrated early on, but in Atlanta, there were a limited number of signs, and shape recognition was selected to avoid having to train an entire font to read two words. Using OCR would have been overkill, and probably less accurate as well.
