Perhaps I misunderstand what you need to do, but it would seem that if you simply change the extention of your JPG file to a TXT file, your file will be "converted." Once done, if you open the new TXT file in something like Notepad, you will see the exact representation of your JPG file, as text.

Do you mean draw an image with ascii art? Make a picture with symbols that looks like the picture?

No.

I think I have not cleared the scenario.

Actually I have an Image file (a scanned file) in jpg format in which some texts have been written. Since this is an image file so i can not access the texts. I know that there are some softwares which convert image file into text file. Also I am using one of them. But to get a text file I have to select each file and followup the asking actions. This will take a lot of time, since I have more than 150 image file, it will take more than 3 to 4 hous to convert.
Hence I want to import the related data in the software and for this I just need of jpg to txt converter dll so that I can import it into the software and automate the process of converting.

If u know anyone then pls help me.

The tool you mention is OCR (Optical Character Reader) software. There are SDKs to control OCR software and there are scripting versions of the software available all over the Internet used to help companies port their paperwork to electronic storage.

If you search Google with the term "OCR API" you will see many companies that offer this type of software that you can control with various languages.

I would think that every company has a different method for calling their software with programming languages.
