Other Features and Options

1. By default when you enable copy mode, there is a bar at the top. If you feel that the bar hides the text that you want to copy, you can enable full-screen mode to hide that bar.

 
 

2. When the copy mode is activated, you can tap the text to select it, double tap to copy and long press to edit. However, you can change the functions of double tap and long press.

 

3. By default, you can enable copy mode from the notification in the notification shade but you can also enable the copy mode by long pressing some specified buttons (includes: back button, volume buttons,…). You can also disable the notification.

 
 
3. The app also has an OCR Mode which is not free. When there is some text on the screen that can not be directly copied, optical character recognition can be applied to an image of the screen to extract the text. If you do not want to pay for this feature, you can take a screenshot of the screen and apply OCR to it using this free app.
