First, I've not tried this, so I have no direct experience. However, this topic has an example of how to load a bitmap (png) from a file and then post it to the log file:
Utils.Picture Property | TestComplete Documentation (smartbear.com)
Once you have the image loaded you could do an OCR using the IQ Add-in for TestComplete. I don't think there are any OCR capabilities in TestComplete w/out that add-in.
Herer is the help topic on the OCR method for recognizing test in an image with the IQ Add-in:

There are two things I want to do with this .bmp file:

So in running our desktop app, this will generate a .bmp file that is then stored locally and physically printed out. Primarily I am trying to validate that the app did indeed generate a .bmp file and add it to the log for reference.

Also if possible, I would like to attempt to validate that the text being output into the .bmp image displays the correct value. Something such as reading in the Price Value on the .bmp image and validating it with what the expected value should be.
