Optical character reader (OCR) software can change a scanned document, typically saved as a pdf, into a text document.  There are several commercial products on the market, but a good free alternative is OnlineOCR.net.

On this website, you can upload scanned documents in PDF or image formats (jpg, bmp, tiff & gif) and quickly convert them to editable text that is screen reader accessible.  You can also download a copy of the converted text document.

You don’t have to create an account or provide an email address to use the website.  OnlineOCR.net’s guest mode allows you to convert up to 15 images per hour and upload files as large as 4 MB.
