Search for an OCR program in some of the popular freeware sites. OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition. You often will get one with a new scanner.
 
You need an OCR program (OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition). Lots of scanners include this software free. If you plan to use OCR on your images, you would be better off NOT using JPEG format though - that's because JPEG is not a 100% perfect image, it is compressed, which will lower its quality and could cause errors in the OCR. Instead use TIFF.
