RaiMan proposed the following answer:
put it before you touch any SikuliX feature in your code

for example:

public static void main(String[] args) throws FindFailed, InterruptedException {
  Settings.OcrTextRead=true;
  Screen screen = new Screen();
  Thread.sleep(5000);
  Region r = screen.find("C:\\Users\\KHANDELA1\\Pictures\\AssetName_excel.PNG").below(20);
  screen.hover(r);
  String read = r.text();
  System.out.println("read"+read);

Be aware: the text feature has many problems and might not deliver what
you expect.

Better use a library, that allows, to read XLS files directly

in-java/)
