Orca has key strokes for copy and append contents under flat review to clipboard, but they're not assigned by default. Since there's no way to select a block of text in flat review as far as I know, you would have to issue copy the first time, and then issue append every time you move the flat review cursor. You can then paste the whole thing into a text editor. If there's a better way to do this, I'm sure someone will jump in. The problem with using script is that also captures whatever characters are sent to draw the screen, so doesn't always provide something that can be easily copied and pasted.
