OS-X v10.6.2

Epson CX4200 all-in-one

I need to scan a typed page to output to either a text document or a
word processing document which I can edit.
All I am successful in is producing .jpg images of the typed pages.
What is the solution?

Abbyy was remaindering an obsolete version of the software and Epson
got it cheap or for free. If there wasn't a disclaimer regarding OS
versions on the outside of the box I'd raise hell.
