Features:

Copy from many apps

Universal Copy lets you select and copy text from applications that do not normally allow selection. In Normal mode, you trigger the overlay and tap the lines you want to capture. This gives you clean text ready to paste into notes, messages, or documents. It relies on the Android Accessibility service, which you need to enable in settings for it to work.

Extract text from images

Use Scanner mode to read text inside photos and screenshots with OCR. It supports common character sets including Latin, Chinese, Devanagari, Japanese, and Korean. Results depend on image quality and clarity, so sharper images give better recognition. This is useful for copying text from posters, receipts, or diagrams.

Detect entities and act faster

Universal Copy can identify addresses, emails, phone numbers, hashtags, and mentions in selected text. After detection, you can run quick actions in one tap such as translate, locate, or share. This reduces back and forth between apps and keeps your workflow simple.

Collect across screens

When content spans multiple pages, Scroll mode helps you select text from several screens or apps and copy it all at once. For ongoing browsing, Harvest mode captures detected entities as you navigate, so you can review and copy them together later. These options are helpful for research, lists, or bulk collection.

Tips for Users:

The primary function of Universal Copy is to streamline the text copying process. Users can activate the Universal Copy mode at any time, allowing them to select and copy text with ease. This feature is particularly useful in scenarios where the default long press action is ineffective, such as in certain apps that restrict text selection. With Universal Copy, users simply need to activate the mode, tap on the desired text, and it will be highlighted for copying.

Additionally, the app offers a feature known as OCR Mode, available through the Universal Copy Plus subscription. This mode uses optical character recognition technology to enable users to copy text from images or applications where standard copying is blocked. Currently, OCR Mode supports only Latin characters, allowing for a wider range of copying options in various contexts. Subscribing to Universal Copy Plus not only unlocks this functionality but also supports the developers of the app.

To utilize Universal Copy, users must first download the app and enable the accessibility service within their device settings. This step is crucial as it allows the app to access and recognize text displayed on the screen. Once the service is activated, users can navigate to any app from which they wish to copy text. By pulling down the notification drawer and selecting "Activate Universal Copy mode," the text zones that can be copied will be highlighted in light blue, making it easy for users to identify selectable areas.
