Hello,
THe feature was introduced in iOS 15. I believe it is only on the iPhone 12
and later. To use it you just need to take a picture with the camera app.
Once you view the picture in your photos, the phone should tell you text was
detected and let you read it with voiceover.

don't see either on my iPhone 10r with iOS 15 0. Maybe he has it in the
beta. That is the only thing I can think of because a lot of the new
accessibility features will be coming to Iowa 16 for eligible iPhone
devices. That could be what he is experiencing for that feature probably
being a beta tester. For ios.
