If the goal is to have a way to do it in photoshop, you an use a photoshop script (socket) to connect to a webservice that can.

Depending on your scripting skill level, the link below serves you a httpclient that allows you to pipe curls to to/from photoshop. Using it allows you to connect to for example google vision ($), where you would have the actual ocr done. You'll need to convert your image to a Base64 string in photoshop and pass that on through the http client. Not exactly photoshop photoshop anymore.

http-client.jsx

No, pixels cannot be exported to text in Photoshop. If you have a program that does OCR, such as Adobe Acrobat, you may have luck there if it is straight text.

You are not going to process every pixel in an image to get its information via a photoshop a script in a timely manner.  Neither of your example converted a raster image into text. they created a pixels info list
