The process you are looking for is called Optical Character Recognition.

There is a package available, called phpOCR, that does exactly what you need.
That's called OCR. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_character_recognition ).
It's not a trival task (that's why captcha's work as good as they do).
You'd be better of googling 'OCR PHP' if you want to find solutions.
