I haven't used it for this purpose myself, but I suspect the convenient 
OCR feature in JAWS might help for this situation. I think NVDA also has 
an OCR feature as well, but I haven't used it yet myself.

BTW, I'm looking for a way to capture the text into the clipboard when I 
use the convenient OCR feature in JAWS. If anyone knows how to do this, 
please let me know!
