I am sorry but the solutions suggested do not work this way. In fact selecting and copying text in IOS is quite complicated if you want to select specific characters/words/lines unless you are selecting a whole chunk of text read by VoiceOver at one go. Will try to explain how it basically works. 1. if you want to select a chunk of text i.e. you touch the screen and VO reads it to you. After touching the screen or swiping to it, press tripple finger quadruple tap to select the last chunk spoken. So this will either select a line or a paragraph depending on the page elements available for VO. This can even select a word or a heading or anything spoken by the VO at one position. 2. for making specific text selection try this. switch the roter to character/word/line as per your convenience. Keep the thumb and a finger together somewhere in the middle of the screen and move them apart slowly. you will hear the text as it is being selected. Now switch the roter to the edit menu and swipe up/down to find copy and double tap. The selected text will be copied and now you can paste it in any edit window. 3. As far as editing the text is concerned,, will address the issue once you get hold of the above methods.
