I doubt anything will do a very good job since the background is not clear, but you might Give iDentifi a try. It is free and can also be used to identify items with pretty good descriptions, etc.
When you download the app, double tap on settings, then double tap on mode, then double tap on text. Then find the done button and double tap. There are several steps to getting the picture. At some point you will have to give permission for it to use the camera. Then, find the take picture or take photo button and double tap. Then, toward the bottom of the screen will be another take photo button. Don't double tap on that until you are ready to take the picture. You need to hold the phone about 10 to 12 inches above the page if it is a standard full page and have the camera pointed roughly at the middle of the page. Then take the picture. You will then have to find the use photo button toward the bottom right. Double tap on that and plan to wait up to a minute. Be careful not to touch the screen as you might interrupt it reading your text. If you find this not working for you, you may need sighted help to get the camera at the right position.
