Seamless Text Extraction: My Take on Universal Copy

From the first time I activated Universal Copy, I was amazed by how effortlessly I could capture text from any app—even those that normally block copying or embed text within images. With a single tap, the app’s Normal mode scanned Facebook comments and Instagram captions in an instant, while its Scanner mode flawlessly extracted text from screenshots in multiple languages using OCR. The intelligent entity detection instantly highlighted addresses, emails, and hashtags, enabling me to launch Google Maps or translate passages without ever leaving the screen.

I especially appreciated Scroll mode when compiling long articles across multiple pages, and Harvest mode became my go‑to for gathering every tagged username in a thread. Setting up the accessibility service was straightforward, and the unobtrusive ad‑free experience in Universal Copy Plus keeps me focused on productivity. Universal Copy has truly transformed the way I interact with text on my Android device, and I can’t imagine going back to manual copying ever again.

    This app is incredible. Once you start using it, regular copy-pasting feels outdated. It faced some problems earlier, but after the recent update, it's way more dependable than my car.

    This app really shines. It fills a gap left by Google Assistant's changes. Using it is easy and helpful. One small issue comes up with the long press back button shortcut. You have to use another finger to make your selection. When you lift your shortcut finger, the universal copy vanishes. Aside from that, everything works smoothly. The editing feature is fantastic. You can quickly skip over the parts of text you want or don’t want. Overall, it’s a solid tool.

    Thanks a lot for creating this amazing application. It truly shines when it comes to copying text from various apps. You can grab text right from your smartphone's home screen or app list without any hassle. The ability to capture text from photos using OCR is impressive as well. This tool makes everything so much easier!

    I recently upgraded to Android 14. I'm a premium customer using the paid version of this app. It worked perfectly before with Android 13. Now, it automatically disappears from the notification panel. Also, it would be great if it could copy emojis that are on the screen. I appreciate any help with these issues. Thanks in advance!

    Using the app felt like a bit of a struggle. Selecting more than a tiny amount took forever. It didn't resemble the simple copy function on Android at all. The whole experience was quite time-consuming and really frustrating. Then there were the permissions. They seemed excessive. No choice to allow access only while using the app. It felt invasive. And those advertisements? A whole other level of annoyance!
