How can I select a large amount of text from my phone and copy it with VoiceOver on?

I've seen some suggestions on the web but so far no dice.

You can use the text selection rotor, if you can't find it you can enable it in Voiceover settings. Then navigate to the field that has the text you want to copy and turn the rotor to text selection. Flick down to line selection or whatever setting best suits your task, and then flick right to select the text. You should then be able to choose copy from the edit rotor.

In this situation, you need to simply add text selector into your rotor. To add text selection feature go to Accessibilities>> VoiceOver>> "text selection" and activate the feature. Once It's done, in the accessibilities, there will be other options regarding voiceOver, select according to your requirements. Now, you can go to the document and select the text you want to convert.
This feature from Apple is really interesting but unfortunately very few people know about it, Apple needs to do something to make maximum number of people know about this feature.
