AnyCopy - Copy Text On Screen

Can't select or copy text on screen? AnyCopy lets you copy any text on screen from any app — even when long press is disabled or text selection is blocked.

Two modes to copy text on screen

① Universal Copy (Accessibility)
Copy text on any app instantly. AnyCopy reads visible screen text through Android Accessibility and shows selectable regions in a clean overlay. Tap to select, then copy to clipboard. Works with social media, chat, shopping, news, email, maps, video players, e-books, and more. Fast, lightweight, and battery-friendly — no screenshot needed.

② On-Device OCR — Copy Text from Image Offline
When text is inside an image, photo, screenshot, poster, receipt, document, slide, sign, menu, or video frame, switch to OCR mode. AnyCopy captures the selected screen area and recognizes text entirely on your device. No internet connection required. Copy text on image offline with support for Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Devanagari, and Latin scripts.

Why AnyCopy?

• Copy anything on screen — blocked text, image text, mixed content, app text.
• Works fully offline: Accessibility and OCR both run on-device. No cloud upload, no data leaves your phone.
• Copy to clipboard instantly, then paste, share, search, translate, or save in another app.
• Smart fallback: if Accessibility finds no text, AnyCopy automatically switches to OCR.
• Clean, modern overlay with tap-to-select regions and a draggable action button.
• Multilingual text recognition on device — no internet needed for any supported language.
