Transcription view contains a button to copy text into user's clipboard

The transcription view will have a button on the bottom to copy the text that is currently in the text box into the user's clipboard, for the user's convenience.

So I was looking into this issue, and turns out React Native's clipboard API is depreciated.
https://reactnative.dev/docs/clipboard

There are three external packages in the React Native Directory for this kind of stuff. Should we use the first one, since it seems to support the most devices and has Typescript types?

Yeah, the one you linked looks like good choice

So I decided to try out the package, but I encountered this problem
react-native-clipboard/clipboard#80

Upon further review, it appears this package doesn't work properly with Expo. I got the copying working with the deprecated version that comes with React Native though. Might look through some more stuff tomorrow.

Looks like expo has their own package that we should use: https://docs.expo.dev/versions/latest/sdk/clipboard/
That's probably why the package you tried did not work.

Good find. Will try this out. 👍
