See what the happy users have to say about Helperbird.

It's the best app for dyslexia I've ever seen! I liked the variety of features and the flexibility it gives, unfortunately I realised for me it was not needed, but I'm glad to see there is such a helpful thing.

Helperbird is a very useful and smartly designed tool that will most definitely make the browsing life of any user suffering from from dyslexia or is even remotely visually impaired a lot easier. It’s very easy to use, has the ability to synchronize settings on multiple devices, and is very efficient thanks to a useful set of straightforward customization options.

Would it be possible to add any darker colors? Particularly dark blue as that is the color that i write and read on and it would be extremely helpful.

This is a great little extension, lightweight and non intrusive.
With dyslexia its reading that's an issue, not the underlying
intelligence. An aid such as this one, can help deliver the
world to some who may not otherwise have received it.
Great Work.
