You can use LEADTOOLS Recognition SDK technology in your application.
https://www.leadtools.com/sdk/products/recognition
You can leverage the IOcrEngine interface, which will allow you to recognize and extract text from images and documents.
Here is some sample code:
string fileName = @"FILE PATH TO IMAGE";

using (IOcrEngine _ocrEngine = OcrEngineManager.CreateEngine(OcrEngineType.LEAD))
{
   _ocrEngine.Startup(null, null, null, @"C:\LEADTOOLS21\Bin\Common\OcrLEADRuntime"); // FILE PATH TO OCR RUNTIMES
   using (IOcrDocument _document = _ocrEngine.DocumentManager.CreateDocument())
   {
      _document.Pages.AddPages(fileName, 1, -1, null);
      foreach (IOcrPage page in _document.Pages)
      {
         page.Recognize(null);

         string text = page.GetText(-1);
         if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(text))
         {
            text = "No text extracted.";
         }
         Console.WriteLine(text);
      }
   }
}

OCR can recognize text from images, and if you want to use the free ocr dll, you must like tesseract ocr, it's the best open source ocr library, support 100+ languages. and before you start the coding, you can try this free online ocr(http://www.online-code.net/ocr.html) to test it.

What you need is called OCR. This feature converts images to text. For more information about OCR see the following wiki article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_character_recognition

Also, I navigated through Internet for Windows Phone and OCR and found the following link that might help:
