If you own the excellent Voice Dream Reader IOS app (VDR), you might try opening the website in VDR and selecting / copying the text using the alternative method provided in that app. It’s still not a perfect solution, but is better than the default method provided in IOS, IMHO. HTH, Bryan

You can also copy selected text by pressing the Share Button in Safari. This eliminates the need to use the rotor to select. edit. Either the suggestion from Applevis or Share will work. Also, it's really nothing to do with Safari acting differently than any other app with regard to how VO

When I use it the amount you copy to the clipboard with the quad triple tap command depends on which VO Reading command you use. You can certainly copy more than one line. If you are reading a screen then the whole screen will be copied. If you are reading a paragraph that will be copied, if
