Why not use a OCR application and copy the text to the clipboard then paste it
onto a note which you can then share on to your Dropbox that you can access on
your Mac? You should be able to do this task fairly easy. Having the Dropbox
software on your Mac would make things a lot easier since what you upload on
your Dropbox app on your iPhone will sink on the computer.
