Is there anyway to take a photo of a typed letter upload it to my pc and have a program extract the text etc into word/open office, so i don't have to type out the entire letter by hand?

Best software there is, it's not perfect but it's as good as you're going to get

I think it's called optical character recognition OCR if you're interested.
