Great app to be able to do what you already can do on your computer: select, copy and paste text. Note, you will need to enable accessibility features for the app, but it is easy to do it following the guidance in the app. Then the text copy is available from simple draw-down android menue. Quite often, g**gle turns off this accessibility feature for this app without your consent, so to reactivate it you need to open the app and repeat the "enable universal copy" in accessibility.
★★★★★Amen Abdi· Jul 29, 2026
★★★★★ Universal Copy is a very useful app that makes copying text from anywhere on Android much easier, even from apps or images where text copying is normally not available. I would like to kindly request the addition of Somali language support in the app. Adding Somali would make the app more accessible for millions of Somali-speaking users around the world and help them benefit from its features more easily. Thank you for your great work and continuous improvements. I hope you will conside

Still too may bug for paid version: it forgots that it have accessibly permission and ask to grant it again and again. In accessibility options system shows "not working" near app name - so this is an app problem, not OS, all other apps work ok for me. Basically never works in landscape mode. Not text grab not scanner mode. Scanner mode does not support Cyrillic letters. Sometimes scanner mode not possibly to activate even with 10+ tries :(...

So I tried using this app on a Samsung Galaxy s26+ 512Mb updated April 5, 2026, and it would launch the settings, but I could never get the capture interface to launch. I'd buy the app if it worked correctly.
