If you have printed text you want to get into a computer, you first need to scan the text as an image. Later you have to use an optical character recognition (OCR) program in order to identify the characters and transform them into text representation. Please see the related link for details.

There is a great list of OCR software here. The paid software is 100% worth the cost. They work very well, and always exceed my expectation.
