# textSelection

An option that enables text selection, copying, and translating.

## Declaration

```swift
static let textSelection: ImageAnalysisInteraction.InteractionTypes
```

## Mentioned in

Enabling Live Text interactions with images

## Discussion

Discussion People can select text to perform actions. In this mode, the framework disables data detectors (dataDetectors) by default. However, if you set the allowLongPressForDataDetectorsInTextMode property to true, a person can use a long-press gesture to enable them.
