I just went googling for it, wondering if the Android version is on-device or sends data off to servers to do it, and couldn't find anything about a device-wide OCR on Android. Guides to developing with MLKit, and something about the feature specifically in Google Docs on Android, but nothing about the device-wide feature. Bizarre.
Same search but "apple" instead of "android" (not even iOS, which is what I meant to search but messed up) turned up tons of hits about the feature on iOS and macOS, and confirmed what I thought, which is that it's on-device.
[EDIT] Mind, I'm not saying it doesn't exist, just that it's weirdly-difficult to find anything about with searches on Google's own search engine.
