A scan is a graphic. You need to use OCR software to convert it to text.
Microsoft Imaging (comes with Windows) does a reasonable job. And I've never
seen a scanner that didn't come with an OCR product -- check the HP CD.

Jezebel is right that most scanners come with OCR but I have found
that the Microsoft Document Imaging is superior to every other OCR I
have tried (and I have several very expensive ones). From me that is
one hell of a complement as I avoid MS products normally as most are
too clunky.
On-line options are fine if you are permanently connected AND willing
to put what may be sensitive data up where security is an unknown
quantity.

The drawback I found with it is that it accepts as input only a very
limited range of graphics formats, and the default one created by the
HP all-in-one isn't one of them. I think I converted it by opening it
in Paint and resaving.
