Hi Christopher and others, The 3-finger quadruple tab works great, but there is one problem or I would actually call it a bug. If Voiceover reads a link or a phone number, it will after reading the text or number say "link detected" or "phone number detected:". If you use the 3-finger quadruple tap to copy the last spoken passage to the clipboard and then paste the link elsewhere, it will, unfortunately, also add the text "link detected" at the end of the link itself. In the case of a phone number it would put the text "phone number detected". I find this quite annoying since the gesture literally copies whatever Voiceover says. If, for example, you get Voiceover to speak an email address it will add "email address detected" and if you touch an icon on the home screen, for example, the Phone icon and you have hints enabled so Voiceover would say "Phone double tap to open" if you did a 3-finger quadruple tap and pasted the result, you would literally get the entire text of "Phone double tap to open".

This will copy what VoiceOver just spoke to the clipboard. Make sure you tap quickly though since a three finger triple tap will toggle the screen curtain on and off.
