Is it possible to read text that has been written on the geodata and has not been tabulated? for example a box representing a building with a label in the middle displaying building number 4.

Since the text is in geodata, it should be either in Annotation or Point feature class. we can be able to read them based on the nature of their origin. if the geodata is made from dwg/dgn then read them with fme_entity_type. or if text is made within the gdb (as native), it supposed to be in annotation feature class.

You can treat the text as a point and use the PointOnAreaOverlayer to transfer the label text to the polygon as an attribute. Just make sure to activate Merge Attributes in the PointOnAreaOverlayer settings:
Have you tried looking in the general parameters? Usually there are a bunch of features that are not visible on the initial reader. Click general parameters, go to format attributes, select all if you don't know and click ok. Run the reader again and check through the table, you may find the feature in there read in? Give it a try.
