The easiest way is to find an OCR (optical character recognition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optica...er_recognition ) application that will convert the pictured text into real text. Excel does not (to my knowledge) have OCR built in, but you should be able to find an OCR app. I would suggest putting something like "OCR app" into your favorite internet search engine and find a result that meets your requirements for options and cost.
