tesseract is designed to read tiffs. Use image magic to convert the file. MSPaint in vista and up can save files to tiff format.
TIFF data can be compressed with all kinds of compression methods, including JPEG. So, converting from JPEG to TIFF may not actually change the image data at all, depending on what the conversion program does. In the case of ImageMagick, you can specify the compression method using the "-compress" option. See the docs for the available compression methods. I would also add that converting from JPEG to something else isn't going to help, because the damage was already done when the image was converted to JPEG earlier. The original picture should be saved in a non-JPEG format right from the start if you want to keep sharp edges.
