If you can select text then the edit option in the roter should appear. It doesn't only appear in an edit field. For example, you can select text in an email message or a Safari web page, use the edit option in the roter to copy that text to your clipboard and then move to an edit field where you can use the edit option in the roter to paste the text.

Hi Alan,

At this point I don’t think you can, the Edit option in the rotor is
only available in an edit field. I am not sure if as a sighted person it
is possible to copy text in, for example, Safari, but I also think it
would be nice if one could copy text anywhere. Something to write to

*Subject:* Help Still Needed Selecting and Copying Text

I am still having difficulty selecting and copying text on my iPhone 5.
I often want to copy a word, sentence, etc. from an online newspaper
article I'm reading in order to message it to someone. I've finally
gotten where I can get close to selecting the applicable text using the
pinch gesture. I thought at that point I needed to use the rotor to
select edit, copy but there is no edit option on the rotor when I'm
reading an online article and it is definitely turned on in the
settings. So can someone tell me how I would do this?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Alan Lemly
