Paragraph 4.B:

You agree that you will not (i) modify or cause to be modified any files that are a part of the Program or the Service; (ii) create or use cheats, bots, "mods", and/or hacks, or any other third-party software designed to modify the World of Warcraft experience; or (iii) use any third-party software that intercepts, "mines", or otherwise collects information from or through the Program or the Service.
Maybe I don't understand it really well, but I don't think there's any subtle way to understand that which would allow you to use OCR.
