The quick and dirty way to copy text from Safari is to use Shift VO C to copy the last phrase spoken in voiceover. This is normally a paragraph off the page. You can then edit this down in Text Edit to isolate the text you need.
Alternatively Interact with text. Press VO enter to start selecting, then cursor over the text you need to select. Then press vo enter to stop selecting and you can then copy the selected text using command C. You will in any case be restricted to a paragraph at a time which is why I use the shift vo c method. The only way I am aware of selecting more than one paragraph is use command A to select the whole web page and then command C to copy ready for pasting in Text Edit. A bit clunky but there you go.

I interact with text, but it seems like the only way to select is by character. This doesn't seem right. What am I doing wrong? I feel like I'm overlooking something.
