Hello Jessica, There are several ways of selecting text in Safari. 1) VO-Return to start selecting, then VO-Right Arrow through the text to be selected, and VO-Return to end the selection. 2) Make sure you have Lines available in the Web Rotor, then use Quick Nav and select Lines. Hold down the Shift key while pressing the Down Arrow to select the text. 3) Shift plus arrow keys. 4) Use VO-Shift-c to copy the last spoken phrase to the clipboard.
It very much depends on how the page is laid out. I’ve found on Youtube, that lyrics are read out as one element, and VO-Shift-c works best in this case.
