Как скопировать текст?

Вроде просто и понятно. Скопировал текст, который не можешь прочитать и вставил в приложение. В поле снизу сразу появляется этот же текст со всеми нужными подписями. Очень удобно что можно посмотреть перевод непонятных слов на месте, то есть это приложение для изучающих язык, не декоративное. Но вот как скопировать этот текст целиком и, например, сохранить себе в заметку - совершенно непонятно. А ведь это может быть кому-то нужно...
