I have an old will from the 1800's in old style writing. Too difficult to read. Saved in jpeg format.

Does anyone know of a utility or a web site where I can get it OCR'd into readable text?

No , I don't.
But if you like to send it to me, I'll be happy to have a look.

Sometimes a second pair of eyes can help.
