Imagemagick is a raster processor. I think you need to do OCR, which is not part of Imagemagick. If I misunderstand your question, please provide more details. Also your IM version and platform. If Java is needed, then you would need to use one of the Java APIs. See http://www.imagemagick.org/script/sitem ... interfaces

Sorry, IM does not do OCR and I have no experience with OCR tools. Look into Tesseract.
