Hello,

What you are looking for is called, "optical character recognition" software or "OCR" for short. The best one I have used is called, "Omnipage Pro". But that was several years ago and there are other ones around.

I looked up free OCR programs and found a couple of them...

OmniPage Pro is expensive. If you are willing to pay the price here is a link to it on Amazon.
