This is called OCR, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_recognition[^].

Even though OCR became stable enough these days, all the open source solutions I know are not good enough or incomplete. You need to a lot of work to adopt them for your needs.
See also my past answer OCR Software[^].

Another approach is using Microsoft Office. See:
How To: Use Office 2007 OCR Using C#[^],
OCR with Microsoft® Office[^],
Document Processing Part II: Request Driven OCR[^],
OCR With MODI in Visual C++[^].

Maybe you will find something else by yourself: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=OCR+%22C%23%22[^].
