There are number of ways of doing it - depends on whether you need 
different text for each photo.

If not, then Photoshop droplets (basically an action list that you can 
drop images onto - could auto-level, add text, resize, unsharp mask and 
output to format of your choice) could be your answer. If so, 
ImageMagick works very nicely on OSX, and is scriptable, so could 
conceivably read the JPEG metadata and add it as text.

Cheers
Martin
