What you’re asking about is called OCR, and it isn’t as simple as you might think. Luckily, there is at least one open-source effort to do it.

You need an OCR library, see this question for further information. For a more specific answer, you might want to post a more specific question.

The question seems to be a duplicate of http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4045908/how-to-scan-a-thing-from-a-iphone-application/4053804 , but I'll repeat my answer here:

Take a look at this OCR API: http://www.wisetrend.com/wisetrend_ocr_cloud.shtml

It is based on an OCR engine that can be specifically optimized for mobile phone camera images (low-quality, low light conditions, etc.) See http://wisetrend.com/ocr_and_data_capture_blog/?p=198 for more details on this.
