You can insert the picture file into Microsoft's Word, then click 
the text box icon, place the text box where you want it and create a 
text box, type in your text, then save the file as a Word document.
    If your scanner came with a picture editing software you can use 
that software or another picture editing software to add the text to the 
picture. You would start the software with the picture open in it. Then 
add a text box and your text in the box to the picture. Then save the 
picture.
    It is a process but you can do it. If you get stuck on inserting the 
picture or adding text check with the software's help files. Adding 
things like text to a picture are usually well documented in help.
