I have learnt to use yet another technique which is much faster to copy parts of the text from a webpage into an open text document. I use Voiceover clever feature called "copy last phrase to the clipboard" which you activate with vo+shift+c. Press this command immediately or shortly after voiceover has spoken a chunk of text. I often use it even before Voiceover stops speaking if I sort know what I want to copy. Even large portion of text - provided they are spoken in one go so to speak - get copied. I use it with languages too and it works perfectly. You can also copy to clipboard the text spoken related to images with which you cannot otherwise interact with. It is very seeful. Be aware though, that everything spoken is copied so if Voiceover says for instance "header level 2 link what is going in the world today?" the words header level 2 and link will be copied too and need to be deleted but that is a minor nuisance to me.
Hope this helps. Simon On 22 Mar 2011, at 23:15, Christine Grassman wrote: > Hello, everyone.
