You can use Universal Copy to:

These are only a few examples, the possibilities with Universal Copy are limitless!
********
HOW TO USE IT?
1. Go to the App / Picture / Document you want to copy text from

3. 🪄 The magic happens: Universal Copy smartly detects all text areas and extracts addresses, emails, phone numbers, @, #...
4. Select the text(s) you want to copy or a quick action (translate, locate, share…), it’s done!
********
HOW TO SET IT UP?
1. Download and install the app

As of Nov. 2020... all old free features are now subscribe or pay only. Full page ads after each copy. This does not seem like a good way for the developer to go. I understand the need to make money and would be willing to pay a lesser one time fee, But to switch it up like this automatically.... Wonderful app. Works flawlessly. I use it primarily to copy text to use in my personal journal. Free app! I did send them a tip because of there awesome work. Thanks for sharing this with us!

Used to be one of my fave apps, but since the latest update with the addition of more intrusive ads in the free version, it's become unusable. Too many times the ads are unstable or never complete, and they are incredibly invasive regardless, and you can no longer back button out of the app. I don't mind ads in exchange for free use of an app, but the ad experience on here now is untenable. This productivity app now slows down productivity, and I don't feel it's worth purchasing. Uninstalling.

Oddly, I had my credit card number stolen when this was running and had full screen permission, something that's never happened before. The app does work great, and I can't know for certain how my CC got swiped, but it also could have a better interface, so it doesn't require full screen viewing permission, just a window overlay using the "Draw over other Apps" permission.

The app in itself is great. It's free for the most part. Only forever between the free and paid versions is after 10 uses you have to watch a 30 second ad for the free version which isn't bad seen as I'm using it to edit my book on an app that you can't copy on. THE ONLY DOWNSIDE is the app is glitchy and will sometimes say that the app isn't activated when it clearly is and the only way to fix it is by deleting storage data, uninstalling, waiting 7 minutes, and reinstalling it. Small bug irk.

This is actually very good. Not many software out there has the ability to natively capture system output. I wish there was something like this for Windows. OCR is easy to implement but is unreliable. This is a different class of sophistication. Admittedly I have istalled and used it only today, I can already tell of its functionality and capability. I kinda wish there could be a better way to scroll-capture. Too much user interaction to extract/copy multi page element. need to test more though.

Great app, but subscribing to "plus" does not work. It went through and charged my card, it even shows up in the "manage subscriptions" page of the play store, but every time I try to use the ocr function, the app still shows the "Subscribe to Universal Copy Plus" popup, and when I try to subscribe again, I get a play store error "You've already subscribed...". A "Restore Purchases" feature would be helpful. Will change to 5 stars, when the isuue is resolved.
