Is there an app out there that allows you to take a photo of a document/paper to then transform it into a digital version so that I can somehow copy and paste the text of the document in order to use it in another document? for example an essay of 500 words. Instead of having to manually type it in the computer.

You need OCR (optical character recognition) software to extract the text from an image file into a text file. The best of the freebies is FreeOCR: http://www.paperfile.net/

Always proof read afterwards though.
as above
if commercial - be aware of copyright
if education - be aware of rules of plagiarism

500 words is quite long ( = very long) to use without attribution
Extracting the text from a photo of a paper document is becoming increasingly convenient. This video explains how to accomplish this from an Android phone https://youtu.be/ZOSExXUetmo Inserting the extracted text into an email will make it accessible on your PC.
