About this app

AnyCopy is the simple and powerful copy text on screen app that lets you copy any text on screen from any app, even when selection is blocked. Use universal copy (global copy) for instant selection, or switch to on-device OCR to copy text on image offline. Everything runs on your device for privacy, speed, and reliability.

Why AnyCopy

- Copy text on any app: social media, chat, shopping, news, maps, video, email, and more.
- Two modes, zero friction:
1) Accessibility (Universal Copy): fast, battery-friendly, ideal for well-structured apps.
2) OCR (On‑device, Offline): extract text from images, photos, screenshots, and video frames.
- Privacy by design: processing stays offline on your phone. No cloud upload.
- Works anywhere: copy anything on screen and copy anywhere with a clean, intuitive overlay.
- Clipboard first: copy to clipboard, then share, search, or save in one tap. Detect and copy link with ease.

What you can do

- Instantly copy any text on screen offline when an app blocks selection.
- Copy product specs from shopping apps, comments from social feeds, or messages from chat apps.
- Copy text on image offline: posters, scanned documents, receipts, slides, whiteboards, and photos.
- Grab addresses, emails, codes, and copy link items from mixed content.
- Multilingual OCR on device (no internet needed). You can copy text on screen bangla along with many other languages.

How it works

1) Install and open AnyCopy.
2) Enable Accessibility Service (for universal copy) and grant Screen Capture permission (for OCR).
3) Tap the floating overlay to activate universal copy or switch to OCR when needed.
4) Select the text area: quick-select with Accessibility or box-select with OCR.
5) Copy to clipboard, then share or search instantly.

Two modes in detail

- Accessibility (Universal Copy / Global Copy)
- Best for structured apps and standard UI text.
- Fast, reliable, and battery-efficient.
- Ideal when you want to copy text on app screens without taking screenshots.
- OCR (On‑device, Offline)
- Best for images, pictures, photos, scanned PDFs, and dynamic or canvas-based text.
- Works fully offline on your device to protect privacy.
- Great for copy any text on screen that Accessibility cannot reach.

Designed for productivity

- Minimal taps from detection to copy to clipboard.
- Clean overlay with clear actions: copy, share, select‑again.
- Smart handling of long text; preserves line breaks when possible.
- Works seamlessly whether you need to copy any text or copy anything on screen just once or all day.

Tips to get the best results

- Start with Accessibility mode for speed. If the app blocks selection, switch to OCR.
- For OCR, zoom the target area and keep it within the selection box for best accuracy.
- Use OCR for posters, images, or when text looks like part of a picture.
- If a link is present, AnyCopy helps you copy link for quick sharing or opening.

Permissions and privacy

- Accessibility Service: used to read on‑screen text for universal copy and to help you select it quickly. We do not collect or share your personal data.
- Screen Capture (for OCR): used to analyze the selected area of the screen and extract text entirely on device. No screenshots are uploaded; text recognition is processed offline.

Ratings and reviews

Has a strange bug that kicks you back to the AnyCopy settings screen every time you click the notification. Happens so quick you don't even have a chance to even click on what you'd like to copy on your screen, kind of defeats the purpose of the app if you can't actually use it for what it's meant for. Uninstalling for now, give it another try down the road when the bugs are worked out as it might be a great app when it works correctly. Pixel 6 Pro on A16 May 2026 Ver.

I am not able to copy from this app, I am not able to understand how to use it, please tell me, I want to use this app.

This app works well and stays out of the way except when you need it, which is what I was looking for. I use it mostly for CJK text, and so far it's doing a great job. Android 17 seems to have introduced a bug that makes the little icon in the notification bar turn into a round blob, but that's not the app's fault. Very recommended, and makes life on a Pixel more bearable.
