\includegraphics{file}\raisebox{5mm}{\makebox[0pt][l]{\hspace{-10mm}hello}}

will write hello over the image. Adjust the lengths to taste.

How can I "adjust the lengths to taste"? I am trying to write text at appropriate co-ordinate points using helper grids. – envy_intelligence Jan 26 '15 at 07:51

@envy_intelligence I just meant change the 5mmto move up or down and the -10mm to move left or right. You can use any units you like and unless you are doing automated printing of thousands of these things I'd just adjust "by eye" looking at the final output. – David Carlisle Jan 26 '15 at 08:29
