Scan it, then run an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) program.
Normally there would be one with your scanner software, such as Xerox TextBridge.

You need a good clean original with reasonable font size. Don't expect 100% perfection, that will be nearly reached with commercial (= expensive) software, but good input will usually give a workable output.
