Converting images to text is called OCR. There are no APIs in Android for OCR.
You are welcome to attempt to find a working OCR solution -- the only one I can think of that works well (ABBYY) is probably more expensive than you can afford. There have been attempts to port open source OCR engines to Android (e.g., Tesseract), but I was under the impression that recognition quality was not that good.
