If the pictures are of anything resembling print, perhaps something like Abby FineReader could convert them straight into word. I'll try one if you send it privately.

The problem is that these newspapers (from the 18th and 19th centuries) have been photographed and are available only as j peg files. I'm a bit miffed that these documents are, at present inaccessible to me, but I wonder if a sighted friend downloaded them, could these files be converted to pdf files and then be scanned by KES etc?
