You'll have to find some third party software that has OCR (Optical Character Recognition) capabilities. There are some that can write the result to a text file, or tables via ODBC. They scan the image, and use algorithms to translate the text 'best guess' so you may still have to use some manual editing routines for poorly defined characters. Do a search on the web for OCR and you should find some.

Nowadays most scanners come bundled with OCR software. But they are tricky to get to work right. Dave Dardinger
