Help Copy-Paste App that lets me see the text?

I saw, on an android phone like forever ago, the ability to copy and paste with two bars. When you went into text selection mode: 2 bars would appear and you drag them to make the text selection wider and then finish with presition.

OR

Is there a copy and paste magnifying glass (i hate iPhones, but this is a feature i like)?

Im just looking for some way to see the text im coping or making the process easier, because right now its just copy and paste over and over 'till you get it right.

Please dont reccommend "Copy Paste It"
 
Im not sure how it works but I know the keyboard replacement "Ultra Keyboard" has some sort of "better copy/paste" method. There is a free trial on the market.

Pretty nice keyboard all together anyway.
 
I've never had any trouble with it.

I just tried Copy Paste It and there are 2 things I don't care for. Both are based upon the fact that, most of the time, I am trying to copy a SINGLE LINE of text, or perhaps something like a UPS tracking number, where precision and accuracy are required to avoid getting extra characters I don't want. If I wanted the whole display most apps I have used allow for "Select ALL".

So my issues are that the blue box starts out way too big, and that the 'delay time before copy' of 3 or 5 seconds is too short. I would prefer the box started much shorter in height, and that there was NO "timer" counting down to the copy operation, rather allow me to tell it when to do the actual copying, and take as long as I like to size and position the box. And for that matter, don't zoom in on the screen as soon as I start sizing the box, because it makes the ends of the line move out of view to either side, and harder to get them selected.

Perhaps it was some of these points he didn't like about it. :)
