Not every source plays nicely with the Share menu. That is why RSVP Reader also lets you enter a URL or paste text. The App Store listing names both paths, and Apple’s Live Text guide shows how text from photos can also end up on your clipboard.
URL import
Use URL import when you have a clean link and want the app to pull in the article. This works well for saved web reading and newsletters that still live on a readable page.
Clipboard import
Use clipboard import when you already copied the text, or when the page is messy enough that pasting clean text is faster. Apple says Live Text can copy text from photos, videos, and the camera view, so clipboard import is not just for browsers. If the text still starts on paper, the cleaner path is scan printed pages.
How this fits the product
These two paths sit at the center of import anywhere. They keep the workflow alive when the Share menu is missing, blocked, or just slower than copy and paste. They also fit well with Shortcuts and Spotlight if you want to make repeat imports feel faster over time.
Best next steps
If your goal is fast article capture from Safari, try use the share extension first. If your backlog is full of documents, move from this page into how to read PDFs faster on iPhone. If your real problem is work reading piling up all day, reading for busy professionals is the better next page.
