You'll hear the text being selected. Move your fingers apart slowly and pause to hear the text being selected.

    Actually, once you set the rotor to characters, words, or lines, use
    the pinch gesture to select some text. Once text has been selected,
    Edit usually appears in the rotor. I do this fairly regularly. In a
    few places, edit does not appear. I suspect text is copy-protected
    in these few instances.

    Hi Alan,

    At this point I don’t think you can, the Edit option in the rotor
    is only available in an edit field. I am not sure if as a sighted
    person it is possible to copy text in, for example, Safari, but I
    also think it would be nice if one could copy text anywhere.
    Something to write to [email protected]

    *Subject:* Help Still Needed Selecting and Copying Text

    I am still having difficulty selecting and copying text on my
    iPhone 5. I often want to copy a word, sentence, etc. from an
    online newspaper article I'm reading in order to message it to
    someone. I've finally gotten where I can get close to selecting
    the applicable text using the pinch gesture. I thought at that
    point I needed to use the rotor to select edit, copy but there is
    no edit option on the rotor when I'm reading an online article and
    it is definitely turned on in the settings. So can someone tell me
    how I would do this?

    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Alan Lemly
