OCR is the only possible solution, as there is no text information in a JPG.
I would convert the manual to PDF, then try the built in OCR in a recent version of Acrobat or a dedicated tool, such as Omnipage.

I have been provided a manual in jpg format for reference. I realize that I can use some of the contents from same instead of re-writing from scratch. How can I avoid typing the contents?
