    I'm not aware of any software that'll detect text in images and convert it to editable text. I'm sure there is something out there that'll achieve what you're trying to do, just don't expect it to do it with absolute accuracy. It'll probably cost a heap too.

    I don't think you can at this time.. maybe someone will create a software that will do that in future.

    There is softwares which makes image texts to editable texts. I used a software many months ago where I used to scan texts base images using my Scanner and then convert the image into editable texts. However, the quality wasn't better although it is enough I think. If you look for google then I am sure that you will find those softwares. And there are many different softwares like these and all differences are the qualities. I hope you find out the best one.

    Regards,

    After inserting my scanner driver cd I found the software which name is ABBYY FineReader. And it is an optical character recognition software. And it is award winning software.
