Hi Ramy, Selecting text on a webpage has always been a bit of a problem, especially if you need to select and copy just a small portion of the text. The way I do it is as follows: once you find and hear the text you are interested in, you can invoke Voiceover command vo+shift+c which copies the last phrase or portion of text that voiceover has just spoken. Once you press the key combination you can then paste it into another application. Bear in mind that you may have to edit the pasted text since what's copied to the clipboard is the last spoken piece of text which may be longer than the bit you require. You can then go back to Safari and copy another chunk of the text, using the same key combination. This is not ideal but at least it's doable. Just remember that Voiceover will copy absolutely everything that it has said. So for instance, if the portion of the text includes a link or image or clickable text, and Voiceover says this, the word "link", "image', "clickable" will also be copied as part of the text. that's why you need to check and edit what has been pasted. If you need to copy the entire content, there are other methods but I won't describe them now as they are more complex. You might find more information on the subject of copying text from a webpage in macvisionaries group archive as this topic regularly comes up and others have tried different solutions.
Hope this will help a little.
