Gimp: removing text from a picture

Hello, can someone give me some graphics advice?
as in, how to remove text from a picture
that's a jpeg
but its not just ordinary text, its a semi-transparent bubble letter
any recommendations?

In order to remove text from an image , i suggest u to use Adobe Photoshop Software which is an Image Editing Software can really help u out of that.

1.First u open ur Jpg image file or other in Photoshop.
2.Then select Clone Stamp tool from the Tool Bar which is located on left side of the Photoshop window.
3.Then select the pixels from any particular area of the image - (Alt + Click) and paste - (ctrl +v) it on the text which seems like that there was no text in the image before.B'coz the copied pixels will replace the text and matches it with the background of the image.
4.Try adjusting the Brush size according to ur need if u wish to.
5. I hope u can get the result from these one.

Otherwise u go to Adobe Photoshop Help menu.There u can find some tutorials expalining one by one tool clearly to make u understand easily.

Imho, if you could post an example I could help you.

If its a finished jpeg then it sounds like your sol
