Image models still miss text in production, and teams fall back to generate-check-regenerate

The author says image models still fail on text: they can get composition right, but often misspell short uncommon words or longer phrases.
They have tried the usual prompt tricks—tighter layouts, fewer words, higher contrast, and more explicit prompting—but none fully solve the issue.
Their current reliable workflow is generate → check → regenerate, sometimes with OCR in the loop to catch bad outputs before humans see them.
They ask what production teams actually do: composite text as a separate layer, use a model better at glyphs, or rely on regeneration until it works.
