scan and copy query

I am trying to scan a manual in Spanish and then copy and drag onto the online Babel Fish Translation programme. The problem is when i scan a page it puts it into JPEG. Then when i open the JPEG it uses the (Windows Picture and fax viewer), then i do not get the right hand click option to copy it. Does anyone know of a way to drag a scanned document onto an online translation programme?

You need an OCR piece of software.

Optical character recognition, usually abbreviated to OCR, is the mechanical or electronic translation of images of handwritten, typewritten or printed text (usually captured by a scanner) into machine-editable text.
