scottjeffers Live Text is a macOS feature not Safari feature. Orion inherits it automatically. Can you provide steps to reproduce and a video to show the difference.

      scottjeffers When we ask for steps to reproduce we need full steps to reproduce. In this case we are missing at least the URL to the video and timestamp.

          I found an example on mine. I'm on this video at 8:22, where there's a screen with lots of text:

          On Safari, I see the live text icon on the bottom right of the video player, and can drag to select text.
          On Orion, there's no icon, and if I hold to drag I see the cursor change to a text selector, but I can't actually select anything.

                  Would like to have this feature in Orion. It works flawlessly in Safari and is really useful.

                    Safari has this feature where you can select text directly from a paused video frame, works in youtube as well.
                    This also works in any photo.

                      looks like text selection works in photos already, only can not select text in paused video

                          This feature exists in safari where when pausing a youtube video with text in it, hovering cursor on top of of the text, cursor turns into text cursor and text can be selected. It would be great for Orion to have it too.

                          Being able to select text directly from a paused video is very useful when trying to copy paste from an information dense slideshow.
