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

Hi, this is why I asked her if she had a keyboard because then she won't have to take the time at reading text doing the swipe gestures and things like that she can simply use down arrow select all the text grab what text she wants and put it into another document if she doesn't need everything
