Recent advancements in multimodal slow-thinking systems have demonstrated remarkable performance across various visual reasoning tasks. However, their capabilities in text-rich image reasoning tasks remain understudied due to the absence of a dedicated and systematic benchmark. To address this gap, we propose OCR-Reasoning, a novel benchmark designed to systematically assess Multimodal Large Language Models on text-rich image reasoning tasks. Specifically, OCR-Reasoning comprises 1,069 human-annotated examples spanning 6 core reasoning abilities and 18 practical reasoning tasks in text-rich visual scenarios. Unlike existing text-rich image understanding benchmarks that only provide a final answer, this benchmark additionally provides a detailed step-by-step reasoning process. This dual annotation enables the evaluation of both the models' final answers and their reasoning processes, thereby offering a holistic assessment of text-rich reasoning capabilities. By leveraging this benchmark, we conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the latest MLLMs. Our results demonstrate that even the most advanced MLLMs exhibit substantial difficulties in text-rich image reasoning tasks, with none achieving an accuracy above 50\% on our benchmark, indicating that the challenges of text-rich image reasoning are an urgent issue to be addressed. The benchmark and evaluation scripts are available at https://github.com/SCUT-DLVCLab/OCR-Reasoning.
