Apple operating systems have had a feature called Live Text since Fall 2021 but yes, on Macs it requires an Apple Silicon processor.
The (mobile) Camera app and the Photos app (mobile & Mac) have a Live Text button to select text if it detects some present in the image. Other applications, including Preview and Safari, support Live Text differently, they seem to require more manual selection of the text in the image, either to tap the text on a mobile device or use a cursor to select on a Mac.
