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.

It's fine in previous versions, no problems. V7.0.2 This version does not work properly in normal mode bro. When I press the copy option for the first time it does not work, when I press it back again it sometimes works otherwise I have to press the scanner mode. Please also in normal mode anywhere Fix the problem.

β β β β β 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

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.
