On newer Android you can select any on-screen text with Google's Circle to Search. Long-press the navigation handle or Home button to open it, then circle, highlight, or tap the text. If it is not auto-selected, use Select text. You can copy, search, or translate directly without leaving the app. It also recognizes text inside images and screenshots, and Lens can even handle neat handwriting. I'm using it on my few years old phone and it absolutely changed the way how to handle things for the better.
