Well, it it very much possible. I am not sure really how do it, but you should definitly have a look at OCR.

Try to get a look at Google Googles in the official Google iPhone app, this can actually read text off a picture you take, even at an angle.

I've found this, http://maniacdev.com/2011/08/example-tesseract-optical-character-recognition-ocr-demo-with-source/ i've not tried the example yet, but i'm going to do that, i hope will help you.

Regards.
