If you're on a Pixel 7 and upwards or the latest Samsung phones there's also circle to search by holding the home button down. The OCR works quite well including English, Russian, Arabic, Japanese and I'm sure it works on other languages too.

If you're on Android 14 you can also copy text through the recents/overview menu simply by highlighting the text. And finally there's Google Photos if you don't have any of these features.

There's also Google lens if you're trying to copy text that isn't on your screen.
