  What you described sounds to me like [Optical Character Recognition(OCR)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_character_recognition).
  
  If you want to implement your own, I would say read through how an open source OCR like Tesseract was implemented.
  
  Otherwise just google for OCR and you will find a list of OCR engines, both comercial and open-source. To list but a few:
  
  * Tesseract: <https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract>
  * Matlab Computer Vision Toolbox's OCR: <http://www.mathworks.de/de/help/vision/ref/ocr.html>
  
  Most OCRs makes use of a combination of a segmantation and image classification(usually done with Convolutional Neural Networks).
  
  See [here](http://www.explainthatstuff.com/how-ocr-works.html) for more information.
