Automator for extraction of text from images

Hi all, I am hoping to use Automator to set up a system for sorting photos based on the text extracted from images, like for example a series of photos with different people's name tags, and having Automator sort the photos of a group event into individual folders for each person (after lifting name from name tag). Is this realistically within the scope of Automator? I know that Macs already do a great job extracting text from images, now just how to utilize it in Automator.

Apple's Shortcuts in macOS 13.1 has an action named Extract Text from Image that uses OCR to achieve that goal, but Automator does not.
