For conversion from BMP JPG whatever to SVG (Inkscape's native vector format) the method is not path>object to path, but path>trace bitmap. Please note that you will almost certainly require trial and error to get a result you like, so patienza is the key...
Your mind is what you think it is.

You mean you want traced letters automagically become text? That isn't possible.

But if the rest of the image was traced successfully, and it's not a text-based image (like a paragraph or an article), you could easily type new text with Inkscape, right into the newly traced image.
