If you need to copy & paste a link, double tap and hold on the link then go to the copy option. Or, you could go to your share button, & double tap copy. Then when you go to where ever you want to paste the link, then just go to your edit function on the rotor, flick until you see paste double tap & you're done!
If you're looking to copy and paste text, then there's more steps. First, if you don't already have this selected on your rotor, you need to select it. Go into your rotor settings, and toggle text selection to on. Then, depending on what you want to copy, then that'll be different steps. If youd like to copy an entire page, then go to text selection, select all and put both hands on the screen, and use 2 fingers & spread them out. Then once that's done, go to edit copy and you're done. Repeat the same steps I outlined above for pasting links. You can go by words, lines, letters and select all. For lines, I swipe and it'll tell me what's selected and what's not. If you have any other copy/paste questions, please post them here. I or anyone else in the community would be glad to help. I struggled with this too, until I called Accessibility support. They got me started, and I've been playing with it ever since.
Sorry for the long post, hope this helps and best of luck!
Remember you can also use the three finger triple tap to copy the last chunk of information spoken by VoiceOver. Then you can paste that wherever you like.
Hi Dawn
Thanks so much for replying so quickly. I find copying and pasting links very easy it's the text which I'm struggling with I'm going to have a play with your instructions now smile. It might take me awhile to get the hang of it smile. I'll let you know when I've mastered the art smile
Thanks once again

Hi Pete
I didn't know that, thanks for sharing it with me I'm also going to have a practice with it as well
I'll let you know how I get on
Many thanks
Caroline
Didn't know you could do that! Thanks for sharing that Peter!
Also, glad I was able to help you Caroline. It can be a bit tricky, but it's one of those things that gets easier with time. I struggled with text too and not just in Safari.
I think if zoom is enabled on the device that three finger triple is speech off/on and three finger quadruple tap is screen curtain on/off. As far as I can tell you can not copy what was last spoken by Voiceover if zoom is enabled. I'd like to be wrong about this.
As a zoom/voiceover user, I am pleased to say copying text with the three finger tap does work. It's just tapping five times with three fingers, rather than four. So that's 1 three finger quad tap When zoom's off, and a 3 finger five tap when zoom is on.

Three finger triple tap c can be useful

Just another option for certain situations.

voiceover copy & screen curtain
screen curtain is a three finger triple tap. Voice over copy is a three finger quadruple tap.
Thanks
Thanks for clearing that up!
Three finger triple or quadruple tapping
I think if zoom is enabled on the device that three finger triple is speech off/on and three finger quadruple tap is screen curtain on/off. As far as I can tell you can not copy what was last spoken by Voiceover if zoom is enabled. I'd like to be wrong about this.
It does work with Zoom
As a zoom/voiceover user, I am pleased to say copying text with the three finger tap does work. It's just tapping five times with three fingers, rather than four. So that's 1 three finger quad tap When zoom's off, and a 3 finger five tap when zoom is on.
Yes!! It works!!
