I do like the 3-finger quadruple tap to copy VoiceOver's last spoken output to the clipboard. Unfortunately, I don't think it will work for my Safari webpage issue because those pages are usually in segments or chunks and I think this gesture only copies the last-spoken chunk. When I tried playing with it on a webpage after doing the 2-finger swipe down to read everything, all that was copied were the menu buttons across the bottom of the screen which were the last thing spoken.

Hi, you can always do a three finger quadruple tap and it will copy what voice over read to the clipboard. If you want to read everything that is on the reader, do a two finger swipe down and then do a three finger quadruple tap.

I was trying tonight to copy that text from a Safari page to a file I could save in an app such as Voice Dream Writer or Notes or any such app so I could pass it to someone via Dropbox. I tried all the options under Share but could not figure out a way to highlight the text and paste it to a document I could save. I know the rotor edit menu option is unavailable unless the onscreen keyboard is present but I wanted to ask here to see if anyone knows a way to do what I'm trying to do. The pinch and expand gesture for selecting text worked about as well as it always does for me which is to say not at all. Also, the copy option under the Share button only copies the page link. I was doing this with an iPhone 6 running iOS 8.1.3. In the end, I had to wait until I got back to my computer to accomplish my goal but it would be really nice if I could do this with my phone in the future. Thanks for any suggestions.
