Try Hugin. It's very good at this, although it's really designed to stitch a
series of landscape views together.
Once you have loaded the two halves, choose align and the tool will look for
matches down the middle. It worked well for me just now with a rather 'noisy'
screenshot of a text message which had already been processed with OCR.
There are lens settings which you may have to fiddle with, because the tool
assumes that you used a camera to get the shot. If you get that wrong, then
there may be spherical distortion. Since my image was a screenshot, I had no
lens info and I ended up tuning the Field of View angle to get it right. If
your image was taken using a digital camera or phone, you may well not need to
do this.
